Tasting Profile

4.4Untappd

Cantillon Magic Lambic (2025) pours a deep ruby-purple with rose-tinted highlights and a fine, evanescent blush-pink head that recedes gracefully, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. The nose is immediately captivating: ripe raspberry and fresh blueberry lead the charge, underpinned by a seductive thread of Madagascar vanilla, a whisper of barnyard funk, and soft citrus peel. On the palate, the mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with gentle, effervescent carbonation that prickles the tongue before giving way to a silky mid-palate. Sweetness is restrained — the fruit forward character is vivid and pure, balanced against a bright, medium tartness that is the hallmark of Cantillon’s spontaneous fermentation.

Blueberry and mixed berry pie notes emerge mid-sip, with the vanilla weaving through the finish in an elegant, creamy arc rather than dominating. The finish is clean, long, and lightly tart, lingering on notes of fresh raspberry coulis and subtle funk. Drinkable young for maximum fruit vibrancy, this 2025 vintage also offers genuine aging potential for those willing to wait. Rated 4.4/5 on Untappd.

Food Pairing

The Cantillon Magic Lambic 2025 pairs beautifully with a classic Belgian cheeseboard — aged Comté or washed-rind Époisses provide a creamy, savory counterpoint to the beer’s vibrant raspberry and blueberry tartness. For dessert, a dark chocolate and raspberry tart is a natural match: the bittersweet cocoa mirrors the beer’s funk while amplifying its fruit depth, creating a harmonious finish on the palate.
