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.

Clear yellow with almost non head. Aroma is lots of peas, some not too bad hop character of some grass and meadow, some paper. Taste is sour and strange sweet. Drinkable, a bit too musty. SinH4 said it well.

330 ml bottle. Bright medium gold color. Frothy white head disappates quickly. Faint grainy, metallic nose. Light sweet grainy malt flavor is highly carbonated. Sweet and sticky mouthfeel. Light syrupy malt finish.

Beers of the World country 39: Barbados 🇧🇧
"The beer is golden in colour with less than normal carbonation. It tastes clean and crisp with a nice balance between bitterness and sweetness. The finish is short and on the sweet side. Kind of weird to sit here in 4°C and enjoy the beer and think back on the two lovely days I spent at Barbados in November last year." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
