Bottle. Short white and quickly disappearing head. Clear yellow body. Sweet banana aroma with a bit of lemon. Flavor is very sweet banana and nothing else. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

Aroma was banana milk shake, banana essance and lots of sweetness. Taste is similar but more essance than milkshake.

Wow. Extremely sweet and overpowering banana flavor. Not much else going on, except a faint trace of the sweet/sour tartness associated with lambics. Too much.

Pours clear yellow with tiny, fizzy white head that’s gone in a blink. Aromas of not-totally-natural banana and slight sweaty lambic funk. The beer is flat with a candy-like sweetness. It can join Lindemans Pomme on the All-Star team for lambics with uncanny resemblance to candy. In this case, banana Now-N-Later. Drinks like a juice with nothing but sweetness and no sign of yeast anywhere. This is a novelty.

Bottle. Clear straw color with a ring of white soapy head at the edges. A banana aroma, but more like banana candy. Not sour by any stretch, but the taste is super-sweet and the banana flavor comes out more in the finish. A neat, different concoction, but don’t expect a traditional lambic.

This beer is clear but has a greyish golden color with almost no head. The aroma is clearly banana in a slightly perfumed way. The flavour is very sweet with banana notes and a hint of malt. I adore the banana flavour, so I kind of lost my heart to this little bugger, even if it’s not true to the lambic style and completely lacks acidity.

My wife hates beer but is developing a love for lambics so I go out of my way to find new and interesting varieties that she can enjoy and I can try. This one was kind of a clear golden color with no head. Aroma is sweet with lots of banana and sugary candy scents. Taste was not that bad, but I couldn’t take too much of this. About a shot worth is all I can stomach. The wife liked it though.....
