2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 magsinva (314) - Virginia, USA - SEP 25, 2011
bottle from liquor express - Aroma smells like caramelized pineapple and some woody vanilla notes. Odd. Pours clear orange-gold with no head. Taste is sweet, like condensed fruit cocktail, without the sourness you would expect in a lambic. Palate is a little syrupy and lingering. Overall, I bought this because it was on sale and for the novelty factor of a pineapple lambic. The base lambic is almost entirely overpowered by the pineapple, which is disappointing. I think they have lost the plot with this one.

250mL Bottle from the LCBO. 3.5% Hazy golden pour with no head to speak of, looks like a cup of concentrated apple juice. Aroma is pineapple and aspartame. Taste is exactly that. Has a medicine-y quality to it. Yech.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 MarkoR (289) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 30, 2006
The taste is not bad but the smell rapidly turns ugly. Aroma of rotten fruits. No head, no fizz, nothing. Like drinking a cocktail of your favorite candies when you were kid.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20 Sanchex (224) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 4, 2006
First impression is that the beer went bad due to a very strong/strange aroma. However that dissapated after a minute to leave a very sweet fake pineapple aroma. Light copper in color with no head. Tastes like pineapple juice that’s been in the fridge a little too long and has developed some carbonation. Cheers!

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 mannika (140) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - JUN 6, 2009
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.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 rabba9 (115) - Chaska, Minnesota, USA - APR 11, 2009
Color is golden yellow, reminds me of apple juice. Smell is of pineapple but also something akin to rubbing alcohol, not good. Tastes is very sweet, initial cider taste finishes with pineapple. Little carbonation or body. Not my favorite lambic, may be the worst I’ve had.

Pours a golden yellow, maybe a tint of orange mixed in. Smells is of overwhelming fruits, specifically pineapple. Taste is of pineapple, with an extremely sweet finish. Actually it was a bit too sweet! Actually tough to take this one down.
2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 cexshun (99) - Portage, Indiana, USA - OCT 29, 2009
Pours a pale, crystal clear yellow. Very little to no head at all. Funky lambic nose. Obvious pineapple. Good sour. Very sweet. Candy like flavor. Kind of sugary. The more I drink, the worse it gets though. Medium mouth feel, but completely flat. No carbonation at all. Disappointment since I love pineapple and lambic. Bad combination though.
