(2006 bottle, thanks rickgordon!) Shady blueberry look, slightly colored small head. Small blueberry pips visible as well. Sweet acidic scent, can’t say I feel blueberries, but there is some sweet fruitiness that you don’t normally find in a Cantillon. Acidic taste, not very complex but still nice. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Long acidic aftertaste, also the slightest hint of metallic. Might it be too young perhaps? Would be interesting to try it again in a few years.

Oct 10, 2008 2007 bottle, 75 cl, from Ølbutikken. Deep purple red colour with a small pinkish head that gradually disappeared. Complex fruity and funky aromas, fruit evolves from pure blueberries to more cherry character after a while, but the lemony Cantillon lambik nose is still strongly present. Strong impact by sharp lemony flavours at first, followed by more mellow blueberries, to be ended on a long, woody, acidic dry note. Truly wonderful.

Sep 30, 2008 Cantillon Blåbær Lambic - 3. edition. Bottle 75 cl. A rather red-cheeked gentleman..Barbarossa. Pours a red moisty deep red with a fine and neat white head. The nose is without swing but is rather light with sweet blueberries. The taste is mild and not very sour (as Cantillons normally is) Its round and mild with fine citrusnotes together with liquorice-root, wood, smoke and freshpicked berries - Very complex. Nice poky palate.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle, sampled at RBSG 08, with thanks to ironchefscott. Pours a pinkish-red with a small white head. Huge sweet, ripe, blueberry aroma with sour notes. Taste is more sour / tart blueberry. Lingering sour blueberry flavors. Delicious and very refreshing, could easily drink a lot of this one.
