Clear golden colour, peach hue. Slight white rim. Aroma of banana, light sour note, quite a bit of banana in fact, both older (brown) banana and banana esters. Sweet flavour, sweetener and banana. Thin body, sweet finish, banana and sweetener.
Too sweet for me, but not as bad as feared.
(from 25cL bottle @ home)

Bottled. Golden colour with minimal white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma has banana notes..., really???, absolutely yes!. Same for the flavor: banana notes with a moderate sweet final.

Bottled 250ml. -from Presporska Pivoteka ie Cafe Luxor, Bratislava. Golden coloured, no head at all, intensive banana nose. Sweet and sticky banana taste with hint of sour apples in the finish. Tastes almost natural but quite unpleasant beer overall.

On bottle from Cervezorama, Madrid. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Pretty intense aroma of ripe bananas. I’m a fan of banana milk, and this beer tastes just like it. Sweet and lots of banana flavour. Not as bad as expected, but I think I’ll stick to banana milk and forget about the beer. Not much that reminds me of beer in this one. Easy to drink, and quite refreshing, but as a beer I think it’s quite bad. (2012-08-19)

Banana lambic? It sounds like banana hammock. Banana nose with malty butterscotch and caramel accents, pleasing and complimentary. Clear amber, very thin head. Sweet and tangy, fullish body, some apparent viscosity. Butterscotch notes are now more pronounced within an apple base with banana providing the personality. Rather like a jolly rancher, especially on the back end. As a huge fan of natural banana phenolics in beer, I enjoy this, despite my view that this is cheating, in a way. Perhaps a bit cloying, even for the style. Would like to see more malt, agedness, and wild yeast character.

Bottle: Clear, pale gold pour with a very thin white head. Smells just like bananas, both thr fruit and a little musty peel. Tastes sweeter than expected, sort of a sugar-sweetened banana flavor. Has a cider like quality to it. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours with no head, but obviously high carbonation. Colour is very bright yellow. Aroma of banana, but I also noticed minor cidery notes. Tasted sweet, very light. What surprised me, it has a touch of sourness, which was very nice. Overall, poor as a beer, but very reasonable as lightly alcoholic summer refreshment.
