MrManning (1634), London, Ontario, Canada Aug 21, 2007 LCBO bottle tasting-Pours sparkling light yellow with a thin fizzy white head that diminishes quickly. Funky banana aroma, barnyard, mixed tropical fruits and a touch of yeast. The flavour profile is pretty sweet banana, with some other fruity components, sugary syrup, yeasty funk and a touch of hoppy sharpness. FInishes fizzy and acidic, sweet as hell. One per week is my max. sstackho (249), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 17, 2007 250mL bottle from LCBO. Pours a pale light straw. No head. The first taste assaults the tongue with a profile like apple juice. There’s a bit of banana in the middle, but the sourness prevails. I’m actually happy this isn’t the light, bland experience I was expecting. I’m certainly drinking something - I’m just not sure it’s beer.
Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 16, 2007 This is rated a 12? Wow, I guess I don’t know shit about lambics then b/c I thought it was pretty good. Drinkable and plenty of banana aroma and flavor. Could defintiely taste the wild yeast flavor but it wasn’t overpowering. Too tart for me though so I doubt I’ll drink it again, even though I enjoyed this bottle. Beltramelli (471), Campinas, Brazil Aug 14, 2007 Ótima lambic, pelo que se propõe. Aroma intenso e doce, carbonatação no ponto. Final doce. Grande drinkability. RichardGretton (3131), Leicestershire, England Aug 13, 2007 Bottle. Golden beer with a thick white head. The aroma is quite spritzy and cherry’ish. The flavour is very fruity and lightly tart with a cherry and banana body. Overall quite an unexpected reasonable beer. probstk (1011), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Aug 10, 2007 250 mL bottle from LCBO in Brampton, served cold in a rocks glass.
App.: Medium golden, clear, no head.
Aroma: Very pungent banana aroma (go figure!), an odd organic acid tang (lactic?)
Palate: Medium body and carbonation.
Flav.: Less banana that on the nose, but still plenty; lots of acidic tang, a little funk and wood; a tiny bit of bitterness and plenty of tang on swallowing, and a little sweet.
Gross. No thanks. Rastacouere (5552), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Aug 10, 2007 not fucken bad. drank some the other morning after choppin wood. fucken hell. Cartoonkhaki (1150), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Aug 7, 2007 250ml bottle, Clean light yellow colour with tiny white stable head. Aroma of sour bananas, Flavour is sour and tart and leaves a very strange aftertaste, kind of metalic like. More artificial then real banana....
