Chapeau Banana Lambic Beer: Review



Brouwerij De Troch
Wambeck, Belgium
Natural banana flavor
Aged in oak casks
$6.99 a bottle
3.5% abv

Appearance: honey amber with golden highlights and a thin white head.

Aroma: you know it – banana!  With a honey oak background.

Flavors: candied red banana but, it is not overly sweet.  A light honey oak tone underneath the banana. 

Mouthfeel: smooth and slightly creamy banana feel, lingering banana and honey oak.  Light, very light carbonation which helps with that slightly creamy banana feel.

My Strength Rating: 3 – mild-medium – I could go to the mild side 2.5

To the Point: this is a tasty Lambic.  Not overly sweet and it is very pleasing to drink.  This would be great to serve at your next Hawaiian party. 

You will need a bottle opener and a cork screw.
