Beer Review 38 - Wells Banana Bread Beer


Well, with a name like that, how could I possibly resist? This brew comes from Wells and Young’s in England. The label touts the fact that real bananas are used in the brewing, and this shows up subtly in the aroma. There is a minimal head on this copper-colored beer. The banana bread flavor is quite nice without seeming gimmicky or cloying. A slight bitterness takes this one down a notch, as does a thin mouthfeel which makes it seem more like a liqueur than a beer. Thumbs up, but not overly enthusiastically.
