one of the wors beers i have ever smelled! just fake banana it what hits me! awful. don’t drink this if it’s not a tick and youre in to that!

Pours Pale yellow with tiny head. Strong smell of ripe banana and fruits. Starts very sweet, lots of banana and some tropical fruit. The middle part is very sweet, slight acidic, with tons of banana flavor. Finish is almost like banana milk, totally sweet and very fruity.

On bottle from Cervezorama, Madrid. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Pretty intense aroma of ripe bananas. I’m a fan of banana milk, and this beer tastes just like it. Sweet and lots of banana flavour. Not as bad as expected, but I think I’ll stick to banana milk and forget about the beer. Not much that reminds me of beer in this one. Easy to drink, and quite refreshing, but as a beer I think it’s quite bad. (2012-08-19)

On bottle from Cervezorama, Madrid Golden color, good foam. Intense banana aromas. Light body & light/medium complexity. High sweetness I enjoy both Lambics & bananas by themselves, but not together

Well, this was a bad idea from the get-go. It pours what is almost a perfectly clear orange except there’s all these weird floaty globules of yeast. This is not normal sediment. It is like there’s small hunks of Jello floating in there. It’s gross. To its credit, this beer does smell something like a very mild version of lambic but it tastes kind of like eating a banana and lemon runt both at the same time. It’s sticky and sweet and just generally tastes like candy crossed w/ lemon juice. I am pretty much against this stuff on every possible level.

bottle 5/31/12. bright yellow to golden straw yellow. a+f= tart banana now n later, banana bread and fake banana flavoring. starchy artificial mf. it’s a decent attempt...i love banana but this needs more character

Clear light golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet and heavy banana. Flavor is quite sweet and light acidic. Sweet finish. 190712

Bright yellow, fizzy. Big banana no, sweet banana taste. Laffy taffy, or more so what one of those little strawberry candies would taste like if banana flavored. Super saccharine with a slightly tart finish.

Poured from a 375 ounce bottle, thanks to Kevin. Huge over ripe banana. Very sweet, slight tartness. Liquid banana Laffy Taffy.

Bottle thanks to J #s at the Meet the TURD tasting. I had saved this rating to write as an Indian businessman for RBSG 2, but I forgot and don’t want to put in the effort now. Orangish pour. Artificial aroma of white table sugar and banana flavoring. Tastes like liquid laffy taffy. Syrupy soda-like mouthfeel. Very artificial tasting and very one-dimensional. How can they actually put the word lambic on the bottle?
