Chapeau Banana

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

Bottle. Pours looking like a Budweiser or something... very light yellow, not at all cloudy. I recall saying something similar about another beer, but this time I really mean it... it smells like Budweiser with a banana in it. Very banana. Tastes very sweet, very banana... reminds me of banana runts (the candy.) Kinda tasty... but not a great beer.

12oz bottle. Pours a pale, clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma of banana, candy, bubble gum, and underneath a trace of the normal tart, sour lambic smell but not much of it. Tastes like banana and candy. I thought this was pretty good on my first sip but liked it less after each sip. If you like bananas and think a banana flavored beer would be your thing you would probably like this. Pretty straightforward and predictable.

Bottle; Nose of banana and lite funk; hazy light amber, small offwhite head; flavor of sweet banana with a slight amount of funky tartness, but stiil too sweet like their others I’ve tried, maybe this is supposed to be a banana hefeweisen/lambic.

Good taste of banana but lacks everything else flavour wise. Very sweet.

ok, this was awful, Didnt even smell like banada, smelled more like rotten pine. flavour was atrocious. just plain BAD!

I’m a fan of bananas. I can see how one might wish for a banana soda pop, and then opt for one with a smidge of alcohol in it. So here we go: Clear yellow gold, no head, aroma of ovverripe bananas minus the peels. Flavor is banana candy, syrupy sweet but slightly tart, mouthfeel is straight-up soda pop. Could be worse. I’m tempted to throw in some rum and ice cubes. But this is beer only in the technical sense.

Oh my god. It’s a mixed drink. No, it’s a banana snow cone. No, it’s a Snapple-ized attempt at banana juice. No, no, I’ve got it. A travesty. Yes. This is a travesty.

Bottle. ( Thanks Marsiblursi ! ) Clear yellow color without any foam. Lots of banana tones and some acidity. Light in body without any hops.
