Smells sweet, stale and rotten, first sip is sweet, little to no sourness, in all actually this is like banana flavored water, if you froze it in a blender it would be a banana Slurpee from 7/11. I’m going to say little to nothing that makes me want to take another sip. Glad I was graciously "offered" to try the bottle.

Bouteille partagée avec Jcwattsrugger. Couleur orange brumeuse, blanche. Arôme, de banane et grains pas vraiment autre chose à y trouver. Palais, banane et bien sucrée garde au fini un aspect de grains, fine aigreur de fruits mais au final cette bière reste bien douce. La banane est un des ces fruits qui n’est pas facile a brassé et cette bière loin d’être parfaite reste agréable a boire.

(375ml bottle thanks to Mora2000) clear pale yellow pour, very few wispy bubbles. Nose of faint fermented old bananas, reminiscent of a lambic in SOME way, I’m just not sure which. Additionally it smells of lactic acid and vomit. Taste of chlorine, sugary sweet, lactose, mild lactic acid. Thin body with a sweet linger. This stuff is pretty gross.

375ml Bottle: Aroma of lambic, barnyard, and banana. Poured gold/amber in color with no head at all. Clear. Not sparkling. Some medium and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is heavily sweet. Tastes of lambic and banana. Light to medium body. Slick, lightly oily texture. Soft carbonation. Lambic and banana finish is very sweet.

The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some banana notes but there is also some lactic tartness hidden in there. Definitely not as fruity smelling as I expected. The flavor is pretty sweet with a little bit of tartness and some syrupy banana notes. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Overall, this is not a good lambic. That being said, it isn’t offensive and I expected it to be worse.
