Chapeau Banana

Brewed by Brouwerij De Troch
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Bottle: Light golden pour with a wispy white head. Tons of ripe/candied banana in the aroma with only a very subtle citric note and damp/dank basement. Slick feel- sugary flavor. Lightly tart, with a dominating sweetness- lots of ripe banana and a very light citric/lemon undertone (more like lemon candy). Very mild wet oak on the back. Too sweet with nearly no nuance of the base beer.

Delightful sweet-sour beer with banana flavour. However it’s very tasty I couldn’t drink more than 2, 3 in one time. Also it’s quite expensive here (Slovak republic).

I was pleasantly surprised. It smells and tastes like banana, and i really liked it.

Clear golden, small white head. sweet ripe fruity aroma, a little ripe banana, faint wheat. flavor is banana, sourness, strange bitterness that is almost smoked. ends banana-bitter, honey, strange.

1. 250ml Bottle at the Fighting Cock, Bradford 07/12/2008 Banana fruit aroma. Clear golden coloured sweet and syrupy on the palate. Crisp and slightly dry in the finish. 2. From the Bottle at the Valley, Scarborough 06/02/2009 Very hoppy aroma. Golden coloured with a very fruity banana flavour. Crisp dry and slightly bitter in the finish.

A Mes rate. Draught at ZBF.
A little too yellow for my liking but a nice clean gold(ish) colour with a thin white head. Smells and tastes like a McDonalds milkshake with a shite load of sugar added, and that’s saying something. Incredibly sweet. Massive banana and that’s it. I’m sure the British white Reebok wearing chavs love this.

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.
