Chapeau Banana

Brewed by Brouwerij De Troch
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Ternat-Wambeek, Belgium

Clear gold with no head to speak of. Light sour gueuze yeast and stronger artificial banana aromas. Somehow these two don’t really work for me. Flavours include, candy/lollipops, lime soda and the artificial banana aroma again. Banana canwork with beer (as in Banana Bread Beer) but in this beer it doesn’t.

Weird yellow and orange body. The aroma is bananas and sour apples. There is also an offensive wet dog character. The banana taste is rotten with some lemon meringue. There is also a little hay in the finish. Wow.

Bottled 25cl (BB 12/2007)
Golden apple color, not much head. Strong aroma of overaged bananas. Sugary sweetness with some soutrness and banana flavor. About what you could think this is (banana flavoured sugary drink).

Bottle. Pours a gold with a thin head. Aromas are bananas and maybe cloves. Flavor is not at all good. Bananas with cloying apple juice concentrate backdrop. Bleh!

25cl bottle - pours pale golden, small white head. Smells like banana’s - sweet bananas...at first it wasn’t offensive, but gradually got more so. Lambic sourness underneath all that sugary banana. Flavour was much worse - very unpleasantly sour and sweet. Very bad combination with a yeasty but funky aftertaste that won’t go away. This is pretty awful stuff. Hard to drink. I didn’t. Dump.

Dried banana chips with some fiz. Really tasted nothing like bananas.

Bottle; Nose of banana and lite funk; hazy light amber, small offwhite head; flavor of sweet banana with a slight amount of funky tartness, but stiil too sweet like their others I’ve tried, maybe this is supposed to be a banana hefeweisen/lambic.

Pale clear, old gold yellow; faint white rim, little carbonation. Nauseating smell of banana-mash, overripe, and yet sweetened with unbelievably cheap syrup of indistinct descent. Taste again overripe banana, honey or honey-covered nuts, as in some Turkish dessert meant for catching wasps. Faint sourness, as if the bananas are fermenting. Slight sharp edge, light bodied. Truly disgusting.
