Pours a failry clear yellow golden, topped with a small whit head, non-lasting. Aroma of those choco-banana candy bars. Taste is mildy sweet with some bittery feel in the finish. Not bad, nothing amazing. But it does smell nice.

Yellow color, small head, disappearing. Aroma of banana, quite fake. Taste is banana too, but not too sweet. But I cannot consider these beers, with fake aromas.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear pale gold colour thin white head. Sweet banana aroma, like banana sweets for children. It’s vaguely better in the mouth. Finish has more ripe banana. It’s actually reasonably drinkable if you can get past the aroma.

Bottle. Gold colour, clear, small head like in a soft drink. Aroma is very intensive banana juice, lemonade, bubble gum. Sweet, no bitterness. Lively carbonation. Quite ok, but it does not taste like a beer.

Helder geel levendig bier met schuim. Smaak is zoet en fruitig, banaan vanzelfsprekend. Smaak is redelijk natuurlijk, is echter iets te zoet en omdat banaan zowiezo niet mijn vucht is voor mij geen succes.

Bottle thanks to my nice friends. Clear golden with white head. Super strong chemical fake banana candies. Some sour lemon and sickly sweet malts. Seet and light sour with some chemical finish. Medium bodied. Disgusting.

Bottle from Seoul Plaza. Aroma, well bananas, faint beery hoppy notes. Taste also presents a strong banana flavouring, but not overwhelming. Sweetish candyish notes, not similar to classic weizeny banana, but rather similar to our classic Slovak candy banany v cokolade. The underlying beer is mostly lost in the banana. Overall no star, but as far as mass-market fruit flavoured low alcohol beers go, this stands far above average. Acceptable beer, would even drink again.

Bottle from Anglia Wines, Ely. Pours light yellow, a little bit of white head. Aroma of overripe bananas, bubblegum. A bit bready/yeasty as well. Tastes extremely sweet. Nice enough beverage this, but it doesn’t taste like beer. Worth trying though, if only for the tick.

Aroma is actually rather...nice. Like an oversweet weizenbock with lots of banana esthers and sweet candy. Perhaps also some papery notes behind those. Flavour is rather...awful. Sweet fruit candy, some papery malt and sticky feeling that lingers after the sip. Not very beer-like, but not typical soda drink either. Quite close to some children’s oversweet artifically flavoured "lemonades".
