Bottle from Whole Foods Market Short Pump shared at the 16th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 11/5/11. Pours a clear pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of artifical banana, bready notes and a bit of green-ness. The taste is tart with notes of banana, green apple and pear. Not very lambic-like. Thin bodied. Meh.

Originally rated July 2007. Purchased at the LCBO on Rideau street. I like how they get a new kind from this brewery every year. Comes in a small 250ml brown bottle, and this one had the best before date: 22/03/09. Pours a clean golden-bronze colour with lots of carbonation. The head is white, creamy and has big bubbles of all sizes. It leaves a small coat over the brew, and some decent lacing. The nose is totally all banana, but surprisingly, smells like real bananas and not an essence. Watery mouthfeel with little grip. You really taste the lambic in the taste. Mild banana flavour at first, but goes into the sour-lambic aftertaste with a small amount of vinegar. Very nice different fruit lambic, that I could enjoy from time to time.

Light color, no head almost. Smell is bad, kind of a banana gone sour. Taste wasn’t as bad as I expected though.

bottle@’t Waagstuk: wow, this is much better than I expected it to be, basically this is just banana juice which is a good thing as far as I am concerned, clear banana colour with basically no head, taste is sweet with lots & lots of banana bubblegum, juice & candy sugar, light malt/juice body with not much carnonation

Medium white head. Yellow body. Intensely perfumy banana chewing gum aroma. Sweet-dryish banana candy taste with soft drink notes. No complexity. Light body. Mild mouthfeel. Sweetish banana candy aftertaste. Awful. Horrible. (Taster at the brewery shared by geokkjer.)

Courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours clear gold with tiny floaties and weak white head. The aroma is banana cream pie mixing with mild tartness in the background. The taste is pretty sweet with slick sugary malts followed quickly by sweet banana and faint tartness.
