33 cl bottle (3,6%) @ home, BBE 12/2014
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".

0,33L bottle. Pours clear golden with white head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is full of banana. Flavor is very sweet, sticky, banana. Overall: feels like somewhat artificial very sweet banana lemonade.

Banana beer following an African recipe - at least that is what is claimed on the label, but I think African banana beers are a very different story. Aroma and taste reveal some soft maltiness and yeastiness, but are otherwise totally dominated by a sickly sweet banana flavour. I do appreciate banana, but I’d rather have it in a subtle, estery way; this is way too sweet and artificial.

Bottle, cheers jeevan. Looks OK, pale gold, thin white head. Big, sweet banana aroma, big sweet banana taste. Far, far, far too sweet.

Bottle from oriental supermarket in Bratislava. Pale golden color with medium white head. Malt, banana in aroma. Taste, banana, banana and more banana and sugar, tons of sugar. Bad.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein hell goldenes Getränk mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr süß nach Bananen, genauso schmeckt es auch, zu süß und kein Geschmack von Bier.

One of the nastiest beers I ever had, way too sweet and artificial. If it would taste like real banana, it could be nice, but this one reminds me of the banana flavored and shaped candy I used to like as a child.

Clear pale yellow colour, slight white dissipating head. Aroma of sugar, syrup, banana and vegetables. Very sweet flavour, artificial sweeteners. Finish banana candy and vegetables. Not my cup of tea. Not even close.

Bottle sampled @ decadent symmetry tasting. Candy banana nose, like I used to get at Easter. Yellow, glowing, faint head. Sweet, fruity banana flavor, lemon. Not a completely horrible beverage, sweet with a light tang. Fake as hell but refreshing.
