Bottle. Pours with a clearish golden body with some sediment and a small white head. Aroma: Urine. Some must, cork, vanilla, nut, fake banana and rotting garbage. Taste...LADY’S AND GENTLEMAN, WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Officially the worst fruit Chapeau that I have tasted to date. Cloying does not even begin to describe. Buttery, waxy, steaming garbage. Terrible, Awful, ABOMINABLE! Sticky mouthfeel that is about as pleasantly sticky as napalm. God this is bad.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2011 It’s a banana lambic. It tastes like a banana lambic. May be a bit sugary for some. Sour banana taste and nose. It’s not for everyone. I tend to love De Troch, so I’m going "against the grain" here. Rated 4/4/10

Cuso (1485) - Bratislava, SLOVAK REPUBLIC - MAR 30, 2010
Bottle. very slight banana aroma. Taste like I thought, banana with some beer flavour. Appearance - very artificial yellow color. Sweet live finish. I am not fruit beer lover, but I love to experiment. Not so bad.

Bottle, 2010-02-25, Göteborg AR: Toffey - Banana, when poured banana perfume (don’t think that have been a commercial success yet) AP: brownish yellow (dirty?) coloured body, wee white head F: sour banana flavor, sugar, a bit like pie mmm if you’re going for Banana try the Mongozo one :-)

Abio (1058) - Waasland, BELGIUM - FEB 23, 2010
Bottle at home. Banana and citrus aroma’s, a bit of vanilla. Taste like you should think banana beer should taste, but with a bit of sour inside. Good atempt, and i give it some higher score, besides i’m not a fruitbeer-lover, cause for me it was something new. The appearance is not good, looks unnatural yellow, and almost no foam.

tres bonne biere a la banane, qui a une belle couleur et tenu, la bouteille cependant est tres tres simpliste et manque un peu de fun.

trapez (1295) - Hilleroed, DENMARK - DEC 10, 2009
Bottle. Fruity aroma from a mixyure of banana, citrus, yeast and hops. Slightly unclear light amber colour with diminutive whte head. Very sweet flavour of malt, banana, a little bit of citrus and yeast. Low carbonation.
