Lots of bananas, very sweet. An artificial beer for me.

Definitely a banana lambic, though I had hoped it would be better. It actually isn’t too bad, but there is a nasty quality to its aroma that puts me off, a sort of stale, sour feeling. The taste is somewhat better, with the banana showing more clearly; it’s an interesting combination of sweetness and sourness, more complex than I expected. This is one of those drinks that makes me want a better one of the same kind, because I can tell the idea has promise even though this isn’t a good example.

I’m not to fine to ermit I find this one ’good’ in a funny way. It really stands out. But one is enough.

Interesting.

UPDATED: FEB 28, 2006 really discusting it only taste banana at the first impression and after comes an old taste of somewhat rotten

I was pleasantly surprised. It smells and tastes like banana, and i really liked it.

pours a pale fake yellow color smell was of apples and bananas very watery lots of floaters found this to be horrible nothing good about this

25cl bottle. Didn’t enjoy this one. Artificial/ mediciney taste. One sip was tolerable but after that I found it undrinkable. Way too sweet, I was hoping for a more subtle banana flavour. A novelty beer that I will not buy again.

12oz (corked!) bottle. Pours light gold with heavy carbonation. Aroma is full of bananas, the flavor is more sweet tart candy. Interesting

250ml Bottle. Pours a deep gold colour with a very small head. The aroma of bananna is so overpowering that I could not smell much else. The taste can be characterized as a very, very sweet bananna, which is not surprising since the third ingreedient is sugar. There is no weight to the palate at all....like drinking fruit juice. A horrid product.
