| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 12, 2009 Consumed at Zythos, St Niklaas, Belgium, 08-03-09 This came courtesy of Ian and Mes who were on a Brouwerij De Troch tasting mission, cheers lads. Pours clear lemony yellow with a white head. Aroma is of sour green unripe bananas (so thats a good start) But there was just a hint of sacchrinne in the background, in fairness this wasn’t really intruding too much. Sweet and yet a bit tangy and big banana from the off, touch sticky. Not my favourite but not as bad as I was expecting. A5 A4 F4 P3 OV08 2.4 Firemoose15 (542), Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Feb 16, 2009 Bottle. Aroma all banana. Poured hazed golden, no head. Flavor was all banana and strangely no tartness. Overall nothing spectacular but I can’t fault it either since I’m no lambic expert. BoBoChamp (1407), Gent, Belgium

Extrememly sour, unpleasant, more of an apple taste. Banana only exists in the smell. Lots of fizz and head for a Lambic add to the presentation. I think I am done with Chapeau.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Slightly cloudy gold brew with a small brief white head. Small amount of sediment floating and mixing with the carbonation bubbles. Aroma is yeasty and funky with some fruit including banana. Flavor is very sweet and fruity.and has "chick drink" written all over it. This is a beer that could go into the intro to craft beer category. At the risk of my masculinity, I like it.
