Cantillon Blåbær Lambik a lambic with bilberries added and produced for Ølbutikken in Copehagen, Denmark. It is produced in very limited quantities and is generally released sometime during the summer. It is released in both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles and is 5% ABV.
Blåbær Lambik was first released in 2005 and has been released every year since then except 2006, and 2008. Though the word blåbær translates in English to blueberry, the fruit used in this lambic is the European bilberry which is very similar to the American blueberry. The fruiting process for this lambic consists of putting fresh bilberries directly into the barrel with the lambic.

Yup. Thanks to SinH4 for organizing this! Pours cloudy deep red. Aroma is blueberry indeed, cherry stone, overripe fruit. Body is medium, fruity still, but bone dry from the beginning. Chalky and astringent. Strong and lasting acidity, down to the stomach. Closes early in the mouth due to being extremely astringent. The fruit works well. A good fruit Cantillon, yet not their best. Worth the hype? Well, there are fruit lambics of a similar quality on the shelves.

(bottle, thanks to SinH4!) Clear, deep red colour without head, except for a shallow pinkish rim. Blueberry aroma with sour-tart and tannic notes, hints of barnyard and traces of raspberry. Moderately sour flavour, light to medium bodied without carbonation. Dry, moderately sour fruity and tannic taste with notes of blueberries and raspberries; dry, mildly tannic and slightly astringent sour-tart finish with a funky edge. Superb. 04.VI.18

Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 18 - - From bottle, vintage 2018, at Cantillon Forum, Arrogant Sour Festival 2018. Dark ruby-purple body, with a medium, fluffy, pinkish head. Amazing aroma of funk, loads of dense chewy sweet-earthy blueberries, some pears, some apples. Tastes quite similar, while with more acidity and funk, some vinegar. Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes dry, medium wooden, a bit sweet a bit sour, with pears, apples, lingering blueberry skin, that stays forever. Delicious! I really love the nose, which is an almost perfect, dense mix of funk and beautiful, thick blueberry notes. Tastes a bit young maybe, with a slight acidic edge, but then also with loads of lovely blueberries. Beatiful and pretty different, as great as I was hoping for! 3 year old bottle: 375 ml, vintage 2018 from the sale in Copenhagen. Very smooth aroma, still with a lot of blueberry skin. Taste is less acidic than the fresh one, while also a bit less fruity. Very smooth overall, elegant and balanced, while I prefer it fresh a bit more I guess.

Bttle, completing all Top10 Fruit Lambics as of now. Deep ruby color with pinkish head. Aroma is leathery, blueberry skin, very Lambic. Taste is super Lambic, earthy, horseblanket, leathery, dry, lots of tannins. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Wow, I had not much expectations on this, but this is fantastic!
