From a bottle poured a yellow color with no head. Kind of an odd banana candy flavor with a quick finish.

Gurthnar (60) - SLOVAK REPUBLIC - DEC 28, 2011
Bottle. Pours with no head, but obviously high carbonation. Colour is very bright yellow. Aroma of banana, but I also noticed minor cidery notes. Tasted sweet, very light. What surprised me, it has a touch of sourness, which was very nice. Overall, poor as a beer, but very reasonable as lightly alcoholic summer refreshment.

jackl (387) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 4, 2011
Fizzy head. Golden colors. Smells strongly of banana, sort of an artificial banana taste. This is a one-note beer - a vehicle for banana flavor. There;s a real cheapness which comes through in the medicine-like after taste. Not appealing.

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 27, 2011
25cl bottle. Clear copper with no head. Nose : strong banana aromas, caramel. Sip : Lively juice body, sweet banana allover with a lamib sourness. Funny stuff. Good for stomach acid.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - NOV 5, 2011
Bottle from Whole Foods Market Short Pump shared at the 16th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 11/5/11. Pours a clear pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of artifical banana, bready notes and a bit of green-ness. The taste is tart with notes of banana, green apple and pear. Not very lambic-like. Thin bodied. Meh.

Butters (2839) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - NOV 5, 2011
Sampled at the the Sweet Sixteen Richmond Gathering. Clear golden pour with ring of whtie head. Smells like 99 bananas. Tastes like a melted banana popsickle and banana bread. Really bad and hard to drink. But it is banana...

Bottle. Very pale. Smells like nail polish remover. Blech. And it clings and won’t go away.
