Bottle decants with a decent hazed yelloe lambic..fair cap..good lace Aroma; yup wet horse blsamket but the fruity notes of banana are synthetic and perfumey...spoils it Tate is ok but the sugar and banana concentrate added kind of screw it...underneath is a decent lambic....pity the fruit flavoring wasn’t more real and less sweet.

Hazy gold color, no head to speak of. Nice banana bread aroma. Taste is more of the same, liquid banana bread. Yes, it’s an unusual beer, but I find it’s really not that bad.

Clear yellow with no head at all. Banana bubble gum style (skumbananer) Violently synthetic & sweet. Very soft & mild body with a very sweet & cloying banana taste.

Bottle courtesy of biegaman. Banana Lambic? Yikes. Pours a clear pale gold with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma of sweet banana candy, which is nothing like I would want a beer to smell -- giving it 4 for aroma is generous in my opinion. Doesn’t make me anxious to taste it. Flavour: Well I certainly prefer it over the aroma, it’s not as sweet and artificial, it’s still weird though: Like a tart banana along with some citrus, a hint of oak and a dry lightly bitter finish. Light bodied, syrupy mouthfeel. What an odd beer, and not really in a good way. Not something I’d drink again.

dark yellow with very little head. Very sweet but I like that. However I must say this goes out of character of a typical lambic - my wife enjoys it though!

(Bottle) Pours a dark yellow color with a foamy white head. Sweet banana aroma. Taste is very similar, but it is quite sweet. I think that the sample that I tried was small enough so it wasn’t overwhelming. Not a whole lot of lambic character to it, but I didn’t think it was bad at all.

25cl, 3.5% a/v Pours a light gold colour with a very small white head. Smells like bananas and brown sugar, Tastes like bananas too but bittersweet. Very unusual. The palate is bitter bananas as well. Its an interesting beer but not something to be drinking often.

Poured yellow color with faint head. Strong aroma of bananas, very faint malt. Not sour at all, heavy banana taste, with carbonation after taste. Why the ranking so high? I like bananas- desert beer all the way.
