440ml can. Clear dark gold/light amber, small fizzy white head, minimal retention. Powerful aroma of banana sweets and bubblegum. Taste is the same, cherry comes through a bit more, quite artificial and sweet with a dry bitterness. Light to medium bodied. It is what it is, and what it is is a mediocre fun gimmicky beer.

4/6/2022. Can at the Teterow GP beer share. From Tanguy, cheers. Pours clear golden with a large frothy white head. Aroma is a big concentrated hit of bubblegum, just like that delicious smelling strip of gum I remember getting out of packets of football cards as a kid. Got, got, need, got, got, need - the aroma sure took me back… Taste was less pleasant, very sweet, with an odd bitterness. Moderate body, slightly creamy, soft carbonation.

440ml imploded can. Poured a slightly hazy amber colour with little life. The aroma is banana and bubble gum. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, herbal, floral hop palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. Undrinkable.

Can from Lidl Supermarket, Todmorden. Deep golden with a small head. Aptly named, this does smell and taste like bubble-gum, although if you break down some of the mix that combine for this banana is prominent. Despite not being too high in volume for modern standards it's not the easiest of brews to down - it's certainly not a session brew.

440ml can from Lidl: BBE May 2022. Been putting this off for some time, but took the plunge on 18th Jul 2021 while sat on my patio in bright sunshine. Amber bodied, decent white head. Intense bubble gum and banana aroma/taste. Almost overpowering in fact. Not something I'd have again!

Can from Lidl. Deep amber in colour, with a thin, white, head. Bubble gum character aplenty, leafy hops, banana sweetness, bready malts and a moderately bitter finish. Odd, but just about drinkable.

440ml can from Lidl - Amber body, small head. Nose strong retro bubblegum, taste very similar with a bitter hoppy finish. Too reminiscent of the smell of the bins after they've been cleaned, very off putting and appetite spoiling. Doesn't work, soz.
