1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Smells like a Jolly Rancher. Ick. Reaaly the taste has a little more authentic banana than I thought, but it still mostly comes off artificial. I really hate artificial banana anything.

Aroma is all overripe banana. Almost no head or bubbles whatsoever. Flavour is as intensely sweet as (and not completely dissimilar to) concentrated apple juice. With a generous slug of sugar-sprinkled bananas, of course. The wheat and lambic do provide some balancing acidity, but the best thing about this beer is the tiny black twigs floating in it(pips?). Full marks for them.

Bottle. Small white head with short duration. Color is pale yellow. Aroma is sweet banana. Taste is sweet and acidic with some apple and banana.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle of Elisa’s (as a joke, because everyone think’s it’s funny that I noted banana arom in some of my early ratings), at t’brugs beertje. Aroma of runts banana candy and a little lambic sourness. looks clear with a little champagne amber, bubbling center. flavor is sour acidic banana. cloying sweet candy palate plus acetic. to top it all off she had me buy one at beer mania too because the whole banana thing is so hilarious. Something about me it seems, attracts lasting banana jokes - my first guitar took the nickname banana which I couldn’t get rid of until I sold it...

Bottled 25cl (BB 12/2007)
Golden apple color, not much head. Strong aroma of overaged bananas. Sugary sweetness with some soutrness and banana flavor. About what you could think this is (banana flavoured sugary drink).

What was I thinking? I have been convinced that De Troch does offer some fine products -- some even come under the Chapeau label ... but this wasn’t one. Over-ripe bananas. That’s all folks.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: MAR 9, 2006 I am not a huge fan of this style, but this is even bad for a lambic. Pours golden with a tiny white head, aroma of atrificial bananas, and sugar. Although it is smooth, it is way to sweet and unenjoyable, nothing good here.

I don’t know how to rate this one. I mean, it looks fine, golden body with continuous tiny bubbling and a weak head. But it smells and tastes like a banana Popcycle. There’s a hint of the sour in the finish, but this is basically a melted banana Popcycle. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
