Banks Beer, the beer of Barbados, is a premium pilsner style lager with a smooth, fresh aroma and a medium alcohol content. Banks is brewed from a pure classic blend of 2-Row British and Australian malted barleys deliciously flavored by Yakima Clusters and the noble Styrian Goldings aroma hops. It is however Barbados’ water, naturally filtered through limestone rock, along with our own special strain of yeast, which give Banks Beer its unique Bajan character and distinctive quality. Consistently the #1 choice among beer drinkers in Barbados since it was first produced in 1961.

Bottle and tap. Main beer on Barbados. They are every where. Not very good though. Weak and watery.

aroma of cheap grains, stale hops. Flavor is very grainy, and grassy. Big wet grass note in the finish that i just cant kick.

Аромат прежде всего солодовый хотя и не без нотки от хмеля, что радует. Цвет чутка темнее чем в среднем у лагера, пенки почти нету. Вкус тоже в принципе нормальный, питкий при этом вкус и солода и нотки горячи при глотке присутствуют. Правда нормальный лагер, можно пить.

Golden clear coloured brew from bottle in to the glass. Very light on the bitterness with some mediocre sweetness. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.
