At horecabeurs 2015. Pours clear blonde, OK white head. Smell is banana, creamy. Taste is banana, chemical, yet very clearly recognizable, liquid banana. Almost chewy, in a way. Appears thicker than it probably is. AVG carbo.

One of the latest additions to this range of one-sidedly sweet fruit beers based on the Florisgaarden Witbier, Huyghe’s classic witbier with an unusually low ABV for the style and therefore deemed suitable for these kind of light alcopops. This one is likely inspired by Mongozo Banana and I would not be surprised if it is merely an alias of it which Huyghe sells under their own name. Bright yellow coloured beer, deeply golden, with strong fizz supporting a thick, stable, cream white head. Aroma very much dominated by banana but in a horribly artificial way: Fruitella gelatine-based banana candy and Pisang Ambon without the alcohol, with mineral water added. Nothing even remotely beer-like is to be found, and that goes for the taste as well: extremely sweet candyish and ’childish’ artificial banana extract with huge amounts of sugar sticking to the teeth and throat; extremely cloying, no beer taste at all, very fizzy (but overcarbonation is probably the only thing keeping this from being more horrible than it already is), and adding insult to injury, some plastic-like solvents in the end as well, making this even more chemical and artificial. This must be among the worst beers I ever tasted, apart from the looks, there is nothing enjoyable about it, not even for those who like sweet fruit beers, I’m afraid. I never liked sweet fruit beers to begin with, but this to me is downright undrinkable.
