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.

0,5 l bottle from Vrutak, Zagreb as Eagle Brewery Banana Bread Beer. Shared with prof. Bekić. Clear golden, small off-white head. The aroma is intense banana bread, almost wouldn't call it fake. Flavour is sugary, malty and perfumy with banana candy taking over. Sweet. Light body, moderate to high carbonation, light finish. No base style preserved, only this fake flavour.

500ml bottle from local Morrison's. Pours clear amber with a cream head. Aroma: malt, synthetic banana. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, malty, more of that synthetic/chemical banana 'taste'. Medium body with light carbonation.

I like bananas. I like bread. And obviously I like beer. So this should be a no-brainer - and it's actually not too bad. Pours clear amber with a frothy white head, and a big sweet banana aroma, confectionery-like. The banana is muted somewhat in the taste, compared to the aroma, and sits atop a sweet, malty backbone, with a fizzy lager-like mouthfeel.

Bottle from Asda. Now Eagle rather than Wells on label. Pours amber with fizzy head, no retention or lacing. Banana and malt aroma. Taste is banana bubble gum (certainly more confectionary than fresh), malt, bread. A decent body and carbonation holds the beer together. This is an unusual, confectionary banana fruit flavoured brew but nonetheless reasonably tasty and the beer elements hold strong enough to make it work. However I don't like it enough to recommend it to anyone or buy it again.
