12oz bottle. Pours a pale, clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma of banana, candy, bubble gum, and underneath a trace of the normal tart, sour lambic smell but not much of it. Tastes like banana and candy. I thought this was pretty good on my first sip but liked it less after each sip. If you like bananas and think a banana flavored beer would be your thing you would probably like this. Pretty straightforward and predictable.

Bottle; Nose of banana and lite funk; hazy light amber, small offwhite head; flavor of sweet banana with a slight amount of funky tartness, but stiil too sweet like their others I’ve tried, maybe this is supposed to be a banana hefeweisen/lambic.

Good taste of banana but lacks everything else flavour wise. Very sweet.

I’m a fan of bananas. I can see how one might wish for a banana soda pop, and then opt for one with a smidge of alcohol in it. So here we go: Clear yellow gold, no head, aroma of ovverripe bananas minus the peels. Flavor is banana candy, syrupy sweet but slightly tart, mouthfeel is straight-up soda pop. Could be worse. I’m tempted to throw in some rum and ice cubes. But this is beer only in the technical sense.

Oh my god. It’s a mixed drink. No, it’s a banana snow cone. No, it’s a Snapple-ized attempt at banana juice. No, no, I’ve got it. A travesty. Yes. This is a travesty.

Bottle. ( Thanks Marsiblursi ! ) Clear yellow color without any foam. Lots of banana tones and some acidity. Light in body without any hops.

[Bottled. Marsiblursi delivers] Clear golden colour. Banana backbone in aroma with clear acidicity. The acids play 1st violin in flavour and the banana comes secondly. Tart mouthfeel. Banana cake anyone?
