This dark golden coloured ale hugs the palate with great intensity. Its malty aroma is complemented by the gentle nose of Banana. Its flavour unfolds with a sensual sparkle and a smart crispness, which balances its aroma perfectly. Tropically fruity; its ripe banana flavour, emphasised by a hint of bitterness, comes from the addition of real fair trade bananas and finishes with an emphatic, steely dryness.
ABV of 5.2% in bottles, and 4.5% on cask.
Note - following the closure of Eagle Brewery this beer is now brewed in Burton. Bottled version only. Cask was discontinued. It will remain listed here under Eagle Brewery.

I was disappointing about this beer. The taste of banana is symply too strong, erasing the taste of malt and hop, 31.05.2016, buying it at one supermarket, during a beer trip, in Luxembourg, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz, not.good at all, too sweet, really disgusting, in point of view.

Bottle. Taste was like artificial banana. Aroma smelled more like its name sake, banana bread. Brown in color. Not much head.

Very light english style hops, very light malts, witha good dose of sweet candied banana. Im really able to equate this with banana bread. The flavor really brings out the banana. A very ripe, fruity sweet banana, exactly the flavor you get from smashed bananas for banana bread! Imagine that!
Pretty interesting beer, light body, medium sweet finishm very light bitterness. I could see it get a little cloying after one or two, but interesting to say the least.

Аромат в принципе приятный, есть и сам банан и кожа от него, но не покидает ощущение что запах немного фальшивый и химический. Цвет обычный, немного более темный чем желтый, пена средняя. Вкус как и ожидалось пустоват, но есть снова приятные хоть и фейковые бананы с кожурой. Собственно все. Финал очень водянистый.
