Description

Cantillon Blåbær Lambiek a fruited lambic produced for Ølbutikken in Copehagen, Denmark. It is produced in very limited quantities and is generally released sometime during the summer. 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.

History / Other Notes
