Gold with a big head, toffee and banana scent. Thin. Sweet with no bitterness but some dryness. Tastes like banana milkshake. Some metal on the end.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Clear golden coloured, small white head, low carbonation. The nose is hard to feel, dust with some banana hints. Biscuity malts, candy sugar and quite natural banana taste with notes of caramel and hops. Interesting but nothing special here, and to be honest I’ve expected much worse beer. imdownthepub (5139), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England

Heavy sweet overpowering banana notes from the off, toffee caramel in the background, the whole thing is like toffee sweet sticks we used to have. Not very good. gary07734 (405), Tyne & Wear, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 15, 2009 Pours very creamy, looks like milkshake with head on until it settles to a yellow blonde pint. Aroma is like rubhard and custard sweets, some hops. Taste is quite unusual, sweet at first, some banana but slightly artificial tasting, like foam banana sweets, custardy sweetness and then a fairly sharp herbal finish. Not bad actually, certainly different. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland
