It is produced in very limited quantities and is generally released sometime during the summer. It is released in both 75cl and 37.5cl bottles and is 5% ABV.  == History / Other Notes ==Blåbær Lambik was first released in 2005 and has been released every year since then except 2006, and 2008. Though the word ''blåbær'' translates in English to ''blueberry'', the fruit used in this lambic is the European bilberry which is very similar to the American blueberry. The fruiting process for this lambic consists of putting fresh bilberries directly into the barrel with the lambic.
The following video discusses the bilberry. A comparison between bilberries and American blueberries begins at 10:55.
