Draught Yellow-amberish head, fast gone; over foxy-chestnut beer. Caramel, even toffee nose, sweet and coloured malts; parsley, bready - especially cakerind - even some fruity esters. Woody, wry-malty taste, hints of tannins, juniper. Light to medium bodied, and even when its MF is slightly water, it is not empty. Ah, not bad - better than the blonde anyway IMO.

A hazy deep red beer with a thin head that is a mixture of pinkish and beige. The aroma is sweet with notes of cherries and stale fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe cherries, like eating them late in the season, when they are close to go bad, but also with slight woody notes. The end is dry and here the woody notes grow stronger. The carbonation tickles the tongue.

Cyclamen-pink head, receding over bright cardinal-red beer. Faint fruity nose, mainly cherry, faintly citric acid and - colour paint? Not overwhelming, which is positive. One short moment of sourish-tinted fruitjuice, then a bubbling stream of fruitsyrup, concocted by the very Snowwhite’s witch, tumbles in: heat-melted and crushed cherry "bonbons", caramelised, syruped and sugared to put Turkish delight (lokoum) to shame. Faint smokiness retronasal. Syrupy impression, in fact, the sheer sweetness makes it resemble way more viscous than it probably is. Ann, I’m sorry but I tell it as I find it. I compared the de Banane to toxic waste. This must be the biological weapon. I’m expecting Lord Voldemort W. Bush’s legions to invade Belgium any moment now (to get the beer cheap).

Bottled. Red, with a reddish-white head. Slightly acidic fruity aroma and flavor, but too syrup-like. Sweet finish. (060328)

Bottled. Clear, copper beer with a beige head. Fruity, slightly acidic aroma. The flavor has dried fruits and hops. Dry, hoppy finish. A good beer, but maybe a little bit ordinary. (060328)

Bottled. Clear ruby, everage head. Fantastic aroma of crystalized sugar, black cherries and roasty malt. Sweet with light, seemingly fragile maltiness. No hops detected, instead I find fruit esters and black currant. Short finish with unfortunate notes of saccharine.

Looks like near-solid toxic waste, with the white head formed by the obvious chemical reactions going on below. Nose as pressed banana chewing gum. Horribly sweet, chemical tasting concoction. A toddler would cry vehemently, presented this. Reprocessed MF. Acidic touch. AAAAARRRGGGHHH!

Bottled. Hazy dark golden colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, flowery and strawish (hayish). Acidic biting sourness in flavour along with fruits and hops. Dry aftertaste. Feels a bit unbalanced.

Bottled. Hazy brownishcopper coloured with beige mediumsized head. Barnyard, fruits, malts and weak juniper in the aroma. Flavour is fruits, juniper and malts. Not that exciting, but still good attempt.
