COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Occasional.
This dark golden coloured ale hugs the palate with great intensity. Its malty aroma is complemented by the gentle nose of Banana. Its flavour unfolds with a sensual sparkle and a smart crispness, which balances its aroma perfectly. Tropically fruity; its ripe banana flavour, emphasised by a hint of bitterness, comes from the addition of real fair trade bananas and finishes with an emphatic, steely dryness.

UPDATED: NOV 20, 2020 Amber color pour with an off-white head and light lacing. Banana aroma and flavor. It is a bit watery as well.

marchbrown (285) - - DEC 27, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2019 RI tour of vineyards and beer. This one was first on the list, working down. Uniquely served in a cinnamon rimmed glass which was what she wanted. Just totally different and worth documenting here.

Beese (12774) - Tooting, London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 25, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2019 Cask at The Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 03/11/2005. I quite liked this on cask at the time, and it was a fair bit different to what else was around, although adjuncty to the max.

Grumbo (14439) - Ipswich, Suffolk, ENGLAND - OCT 4, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 4, 2019 4/10/2019. Cask at the 42nd Bedford Beer & Cider Festival. Pours clear pale to mid amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of banana cake (my wife’s speciality), toffee, sweet bread, light malt and fruit. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Better from cask, enjoyed this.

HopsDoctor83 (94) - Walsall, West Midlands, ENGLAND - OCT 21, 2017
UPDATED: OCT 21, 2017 Banana aroma just warms all your senses. Golden in colour light head inviting you to just keep partaking. Toffee notes mix with the strong banana aroma. Creamy mellow and a dessert without the meal. It is just what the pump picture shows bananas on tap

3.5
Towey1989 (5546) - Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 18, 2017
Cask at The Green Dragon, Leek (JDW) A clear amber colour with a medium off white head. Aroma of banana, some toffee, bready malts, a little nuts, a hint of fruit and subtle yeast. Taste of banana, toffee, bready malts, slight nuts, a little fruit and subtle yeast. Light bodied and soft carbonation. A dryish, banana and malty bitterness in the finish. Nostalgic because this is one of the first ever beers I really enjoyed and I know it’s quite artificial and thin but it’s really flavourful and smooth. A treat to see on cask again.

mR_fr0g (23876) - Hertfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 12, 2017
Cask at the Crosse key, bank. Thought I'd had this before. A clear amber copper coloured pour with a halo if beige head. Aroma is sweet, bruised banana, nutty malts, toffee. Cola cubes. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, ripe banana, flavourings, nutty malts, barbecued banana and toffee.. Palate is semi sweet, toffee, decent cask condition. Not bad.
