    Thin fizzy fizzy yellow body, thin ringed head that didnt leave much if any lace. Aroma and flavors of banana, wheat, and a touch of fruit, rather muddled though.

    I admit it, I've tried just about the entire lineup of Chapeau de Troch fruit beers, and I'll be damned if they all tasted good. They just didn't taste like beer. The beer pours a clear straw yellow colour with a soda pop fizzy head. The aroma was tart fruit, and banana. The flavour was very sweet banana soda pop, with a noticeable alcohol nip!

    Pours a bronze with no cap. A definite banana aroma, but of the candy kind and not the real one. Sweet taste with a banana flavouring that gives way to that familiar lambic sourness. Even though its largely artificial flavouring, I didn't mind it as much even if it is a "kid's beer".

    Bottle decants with a decent hazed yelloe lambic..fair cap..good lace Aroma; yup wet horse blsamket but the fruity notes of banana are synthetic and perfumey...spoils it Tate is ok but the sugar and banana concentrate added kind of screw it...underneath is a decent lambic....pity the fruit flavoring wasn’t more real and less sweet.

    Bottled. Yellowish golden colour, not much head. Artificial bananas with sweetish sourness all the way through, both in aroma and flavour. Don't ever try to have any kind of cheese with this one...

    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.

    I can see opinions on this one going two ways. First of all, it dosent really taste like beer, there is far too much sweetness. Apperance is clear with minimal head. smells like well Bananas. Very very sweet on the attack with minimal aftertaste and fair amount of carbination. Im really not sure what to make of this one.

    This is one of my favorite all time beers, maybe because I like bananas. It is a little on the sweet side but aren't bananas? I do not usually like fruity beers but I liked this one a lot.

    This was a horrible beer. the flavor was way to sweet and there was no carbonation at all. Not a beer worth having again.
