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.

330ml bottle bought from Montego's in Bedford and drunk at home. Light to mid gold and clear with visible carbonation. Corn syrup and paper glue in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with an astringent note. Long finish is bitter and a little metallic. Heavy carbonation. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Clear and pale gold with a frothy white head and sweet, floral and grassy aroma. Moderately carbonated, with a slightly grainy mouthfeel, and a sweet malt flavour, with hints of honey and a touch bitterness in the finish

Bottle from local B & M shop Not much aroma at all on this one – maybe some malt ? Pours a pale, slightly brown straw with a vigorous but transient white head. Main flavour is sweet malts, but there is also golden syrup, grains, crusty bread, and a hint of chicken roll in there. Finish is slightly peppery. For a macro lager, it’s OK.

12oz bottle from HalfTime. Clear golden, small foamy head. Musty, grainy aroma. Taste is also cereal, slightly vegetal. Typical pale lager.
