Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with no head. Flavour is sweet, synthetic, wheat, acid and banana... and banana...

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2004 It has nothing to do with beer, but i did finish the bottle.

Ugh. Sweet like cloying banana-liqueur, artificial tasting banana aroma. Why do you do this to a lambic?

Golden in colour, lingering white coloured head, some light lacing, lightly visible carbonation. The aroma is of lots of banana candies, very lightly sour. The flavour is very sweet, no tartness or sourness, lots of candy bananas, no lambic qualities. Sweet mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes very sweet, lingering, lots of bananas and dry. This is no lambic, incredibly sweet.

250ml bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario for $2.25.

Holy crapola batman. More overly sweet and fake crap in a bottle that is an utter disgrace to the Lambic name.

(Bottle) Pours light amber. Sweet and artificial banana aroma. Sweet flavour with apple juice and bananas. Some vinegar and a tiny hint of sourness. Light body. My first and last banana lambic.

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.

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

Bottled. Pale yellow with big fizzed head. Well I suppose you ask for it when you buy this one, overwhelming sickly sweet banana flavour, yuk.

Oh my god. It’s a mixed drink. No, it’s a banana snow cone. No, it’s a Snapple-ized attempt at banana juice. No, no, I’ve got it. A travesty. Yes. This is a travesty.
