Chapeau Banana

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

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

250mL bottle from LCBO. Pours a pale light straw. No head. The first taste assaults the tongue with a profile like apple juice. There’s a bit of banana in the middle, but the sourness prevails. I’m actually happy this isn’t the light, bland experience I was expecting. I’m certainly drinking something - I’m just not sure it’s beer.

This is rated a 12? Wow, I guess I don’t know shit about lambics then b/c I thought it was pretty good. Drinkable and plenty of banana aroma and flavor. Could defintiely taste the wild yeast flavor but it wasn’t overpowering. Too tart for me though so I doubt I’ll drink it again, even though I enjoyed this bottle.

Ótima lambic, pelo que se propõe. Aroma intenso e doce, carbonatação no ponto. Final doce. Grande drinkability.

Bottle. Golden beer with a thick white head. The aroma is quite spritzy and cherry’ish. The flavour is very fruity and lightly tart with a cherry and banana body. Overall quite an unexpected reasonable beer.

250 mL bottle from LCBO in Brampton, served cold in a rocks glass.

App.: Medium golden, clear, no head. Aroma: Very pungent banana aroma (go figure!), an odd organic acid tang (lactic?) Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Less banana that on the nose, but still plenty; lots of acidic tang, a little funk and wood; a tiny bit of bitterness and plenty of tang on swallowing, and a little sweet.

Gross. No thanks.

not fucken bad. drank some the other morning after choppin wood. fucken hell.

250ml bottle, Clean light yellow colour with tiny white stable head. Aroma of sour bananas, Flavour is sour and tart and leaves a very strange aftertaste, kind of metalic like. More artificial then real banana....

A diffuse blonde with a white head. Aroma of banana bread and nail remover. In mout, a sweet aple and banana in mout, with very light acidity. Not bad, not good. LCBO offering.
