33 cL bottle. Pours cloudy and yellow with a fizzy white head. Dry banana fruity aroma. Sweet and fruity banana flavoured. Slight cloying finish. Drinkable, I had expected much worse.

Hazy yellow colour, small dissipating white head. Aroma of artificial banana. Sweet flavour, again -duh- banana. Finish sweet banana candy.
The brewer (brewster) already warned me this isn’t their best beer. I should have listened but I’m just too damn curious. But well, as their father seems to have said, ’If there’s a market for it, one might as well make it’.
(From bottle @ ZBF ’12)

25cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Small white head that diminishes instantly. Murky opaque milky yellow color. Smell banana, sweetness and candy. Taste a horrible sort of banana-like sweetness, incredible amount of sugar. Oh no, never again.

Bottle thx to benzai i guess.. Very hazy witbier to yellow colour (like someone poured some milk in there) with a quickly gone white head. Smells like banana, sweet, milkshake, smoothie. Tastes very very sweet. Way too sweet. Boy oh boy. Little to no carbo, medium body.

This isn’t beer, but a sweet candy syrup. Taste of candy and sweet, very sweet, you don’t mention hops or anything.

19/11/2011 33cl bottle @ Gentse Biervereniging: Brouwerij De Ryck op bezoek - BB: 6/12 (2011-651)

Cloudy milky pale beige beer, very small white head, unstable. Aroma: banana candy, bit of hops, yeasty character. MF: light carbon, light body. Taste: sweet banana candy, bit cheesy. Aftertaste: more sweetness and banana candy. Bluh.

19.11.2011 - beer tasting ’gentse biervereniging’ - very nice yellow/banana coloured, horrible smell, rather bad than good - nevertheless i do think that this product can sell

Milky yellowish color. Slight white head that fades quick and leaves no lacing behind. Huge fake banana smell. Kind of like laffy taffy. Overly sweet and fake banana-ish. Not the worst thing I’ve drunk, but man this is weird.

Not very good. Head was weak, color is dirty wheat yellow. Taste is unnatural Banana chemical with weak pale malt. Aftertaste is lingering and not great. Wont drink it again

Cloudy ugly coloured yellow. Small head that colapses very quick. The smell is like overripe bananes and alcohol. Not a good combination at the nose. The taste is over-sweet, banana, unpleasant it is... This is not beer for me.

Bottle. Pours like a cloudy grapefruit juice. Strong ripe banana nose with yogurt, cream and clove. Taste is banana, lots of dietary sugar, yogurt, clove and cream. Lightly acidic. Thin body and mouth feel. The palate is almost all dietary sugar. Long lingering banana and cream finish.
