Tasting Profile

4.16Untappd

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik (2024) pours a deep, near-opaque purple-violet, reminiscent of fresh blueberry juice, with a delicate pale pink head that dissipates steadily, leaving a faint lace ring on the glass. The nose is an immediate and evocative tapestry of wild blueberry, tart lemon zest, damp oak, earthy Brettanomyces funk, and a whisper of floral sweetness. On the palate, the mouthfeel is lively and prickly with fine carbonation — medium-light in body yet surprisingly rich in fruit concentration. Vivid notes of fresh blueberry and underripe boysenberry lead, underpinned by lemon pith, a subtle vanilla undercurrent, and the classic Cantillon barnyard complexity.

Sweetness is restrained, allowing the natural tartness and bright acidity to shine without becoming harsh. The finish is long, clean, and bone dry, with a lingering tartness and a final echo of wild berry. This is a beer of exceptional drinkability for a lambic collector, yet equally rewarding with several years of additional cellaring.

Food Pairing

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik 2024 is a stunning match for aged, bloomy-rind cheeses such as Brie de Meaux or Époisses, where the lactic tang mirrors the beer’s acidity and amplifies the blueberry fruit. It also pairs beautifully with duck breast served with a dark berry reduction, where the lambic’s tartness cuts through rich fat while complementing the fruit-forward sauce with remarkable elegance.
