Tasting Profile

4.16Untappd

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik (2024) pours a deep, jewel-like indigo-purple with fleeting wisps of pale pink foam — characteristic of fruit lambics from this legendary Brussels house, where head retention gives way almost entirely to the dense, pigment-rich berry liquid beneath. On the nose, layers of underripe blueberry, tart wild berry compote, earthy barnyard funk, lemon peel, and a delicate touch of oak emerge in succession, each note underpinned by the signature Cantillon acetic and lactic complexity. The palate is where this beer truly asserts itself: light-to-medium in body, with lively prickly carbonation and a precise, mouth-watering sourness that never tips into harshness.

Flavours of fresh blueberry, candied violet, subtle vanilla, and a mineral-edged tartness roll across the tongue before giving way to a long, bone-dry finish with a lingering whisper of lemon zest and berry skin. Drinkability is deceptively high given the depth of character on offer. This is a beer that rewards immediate drinking for vibrant fruit expression, yet can be cellared for several years to allow the lambic character to deepen further — a hallmark of Cantillon’s most coveted fruit releases.

Food Pairing

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik 2024 is a compelling match for aged, creamy cheeses such as a ripe Époisses or Brillat-Savarin, where the beer’s vivid acidity cuts through fat while the blueberry notes add a fruity counterpoint. It also shines alongside duck breast with a dark berry reduction, a pairing that mirrors and elevates the lambic’s deep purple fruit character and dry, tannic finish.
