Tasting, courtesy of Fordest’s event. Beer #5. 2007 vintage. Poured a purplish color with a small off-white head. The aroma is big with funk, yeast and fresh ripe blueberries. The flavor features a good blueberry character set in a spicy tart-sour backdrop. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky. The finish is long with lingering tart blueberries and a bit of brett. Overall: A simple yet complex concoction. Very nice. Note: Also tasted the 2005 vintage at a later tasting by Toncatcher. I found the 2005 to have lost most of its marvelous blueberry character--and was indeed overly sour.

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.

Sep 8, 2008 Deep red-purple in colour with a long lasting thin pink coloured head, excellent lacing. The aroma is very sour, quite tart, the blueberries work very well, light sweetness comes and goes, lightly acidic. The flavour is sharp, acidic and dry, good blueberry sweetness, grape skins, excellent Cantillon funk. Sweet, tart and dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, dry, tart and juicy.
Wow, fantastic stuff. Unbelievable aroma thats right up there with Soleil de Minuit and Tyrnilambic. I see this aging very, very well as the blueberry flavour is quite strong. Nice job Jeppe, you have made lambic history.
750ml bottle obtained in a trade with footbalm, thanks Eric.
