I'm surprised that this beer has 10 reviews. The pineapple on the label probably scares people away. A nice yellow-gold pour, slight haze, and no head. Tartness comes through in both the aroma and taste, with the dominant fruit being pineapple. Not as tart as other lambics, but not as artificially tasting as some North American attempts

The beer poured a clear gold colour with a thin frothy white head that lasted. The aroma was pineapple and tart fruits. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was tart fruit, pineapple, and metal.

Bottle: Gold with a light lace cap. Aromas of fruit are too pronounced, the nice lambic horse blanket is buried in this syrupy junk- fruit taste. Too sweet to be a properly blended fruit lambic.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is some pineapple along with sourness and rubber,. Flavour is really bad, pineapples, rubber, metal and some paper. Really not pleasant at all. Yet another De Troch, that just isn't very nice.

This lambic fruit pours a slightly hazy orange gold color from a corked and capped 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is pineapple juice, banana, some fruit and then some more pineapple. There may be a touch of tartness as well. A medium bodied fruit lambic. There are lots and lots of medium to low-grade pineapple juice flavor, which is kind of sweet tasting. There is some funk and tartness at the back of the taste, you just need to wait for all that pineapple juice flavor to go away, which can take awhile. The second sip was way better than the first. Interesting beer, glad I tried it but not sure I would want to drink this one too often. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is very sweet.

Perhaps because Im not big on pineapple Im being a little unfair, but this one I just found distasteful. With the low alcohol it seemed closer to juice, only more tart than fruity. The taste was weak and not all that agreeable. It had a flat odour and terribly sticky mouthfeel. My own tastes aside, this was in most respects a weak fruit beer.

So yellow it is probably used in those flouresent-yellow highlighters. No head though. Heavy on the pineapple aroma, and some vinegar in the background. Starts with the sweetness of the pineapple, then the vinegar comes into play, balancing it out. Too much of one or the other would probably make it not quite as good. This may as well be fruit juice to get you going in the morning, as it has so much sugary taste to it. A little fake and overpowering, but they certainly do not lie in the description.

Bottle: Poured a chemical-like yellow color beer with no head and faint carbonation. Aroma of fake pineapple is all over this. Taste is entirely covered by the pineapple syrup and leave little place to lambic. Can’t really say I care for this one but boy am I curious to taste the unblended lambic from De Troch.

Best before date: 25/03/07. Golden-amber colour with slight haze. Not much of a head, no lacing. The aroma is heavy with pineapple, mixed in with sour vinegar in the background. The taste starts off very sweet, turns sour in the middle and then balances out both flavours. The pineapple juice they use in this one is what stays in the aftertaste. Tarty mouthfeel. More like juice then a lambic, but still a decent brew.
