Clear golden with a tiny white short lasting head. Not that sweet aroma with hints of banana and barnyard. Flavour had banana with mild abrnyard and wood notes. Finished mild tart.

Bottle. A hazy, golden-orange beer with a small, white head. A slightly funky, sourish nose with banana dominating. The flavor is also citrusy and slightly sourish and funky, with ripe banana the most evident. Slightly stingingly sour mouthfeel. Short finish. A really strange one, or at least unusual. Refreshing, quenching and sort of nice. I expected a banana lambic to be a horrible idea, but it works. In a way. On the sweet side though, without it being just sweet. (090430)

Bottle. Golden hazy body with a thin white lacing. Wheat sweet banana, hints of apple and overly sweet. I poured most for fear of a diabetic coma.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with no head. The aroma is dominated by sweet banana with notes of yeast and apple. Flavour is sweet ripe banana and apple. Very special and to sweet but not that bad.

Bottle. Pours a gold with a thin head. Aromas are bananas and maybe cloves. Flavor is not at all good. Bananas with cloying apple juice concentrate backdrop. Bleh!

Bottle thanks to MrBunn.Strong aroma of bananas and cloves.Pours a dark yellow with a head that disappears instantly. YUCK! the taste is a cloying nastiness that should not be experienced by anyone. Notes of..........bananas...and .........crap. So sweet I cant get past it.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Pale gold, thick lasting beige head. Well it smells of bananas which is a start. Startlingly sweet. Not as bad as I thought. Some attempt at a bit of sourness.
