Bottle at the Belgian Brasserie Henry, shared with ogivlado.
Poured a slightly hazy golden body, almost no head. Buttery nose with pineapple in the nose, buttery pineapple in the taste, ending slightly acidic leaving a slightly more positive impression than the aroma. You can drink it but overall, just blah. I migt’ve overrated it.

250 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours clear yellow with an everlasting white head. aroma of tropical fruit, some tatness, a little funk. the flavour is quite sweet with lotsa fruit, some sourness and some funk. there are some actual lambic qualities buried beneath the sweet fruit. no a drain pour which is quite an accomplishment from this brewer.

Bottle. This is transparent golden in colour with a half inch, fading white head. The aroma is full of coconut with alcohol. Smells like pina colada. There’s more fruit in there too: soft (baked?) banana, pineapple (like on the label) , baking sugars. Mouthfeel is medium with a bit of syrupy-ness, but not unpleasant. The flavour is sour with more light coconut and plenty of pineapple.

250mL bottle. Pours a golden colour with minimal head - aroma is of artificial pineapple, as well as of ripe bananas? Flavour is tart - fruitiness is present, but not overwhelming. Finish is relatively clean, but leaves a bit of a sourish taste. Overall not horrible, but not the best lambic that I’ve had.

Bottle at Toncatchers. Thanks to Wetherel. Pours yellow with a big white head. The aroma was of funky pineapple. The taste was sort of like a sweet pina colada with loads of funky pineapple. The finish was long and sweet with tropical fruit flavors. Overall: Not like any beer I have ever tried before, but not that bad either. Very Original.

Toncatchers 2. Nose was sharp fruit and yeast. Pineapple. Pale light yellow with chunkies suspended. Light white head. "I’m drinking pineapple juice." Made my eyes squint.

Bottle provided by John (wetherel) partially for the express purpose of me rating more sours. Thanks buddy! Pours yellowy with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet coconutty and a bit yucky. Taste is sweet, gnarly but basically like a pina colada and getting lost in this beer.

Whitish Yellow and cloudy. Leprosy-like suds atop. Pineapple-strong nose that was musty, sweet and powdery. Sweet vivid pineapple flavors and somewhat tart in fruity ways. No funk...but then again, none was expected. Its certainly sweet and even though it can be argued that its overly sweet, its not anywhere near cloying or annoying and the pineapple notes are strong...and they are not artificial in any way, and, in fact...though it isn’t a serious lambic, you can’t seriously rate it as low as the rest of these retarded raters who are evidently, seriously mentally handicapped...because, unfortunately for them...it isnt that bad.
