Cask at London & North Western, Birmingham. Clear amber, small white head, moderate retention. Has a caramel and banana aroma. Taste of malt, toffee, banana. A modest sweet fruit tang and bitter finish. Something a bit different and it half works.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] An amber pour with a loose off-white head; toffee banana aroma; drier than expected with an earthy bitterness and mashed banana taste; then a dry bready finish. Surprisingly fresh tasting.

Cask at the ledger building Canary wharf. A light hazed amber orange coloured pour with a lasting speckled head. Aroma is very sweet, brown banana, banana sweets, some brown sugars, bruised fruit. Palate is weak and grainy, little cloying,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, light tangy, fizzy banana sweets, earthy grains, grass, bruised bananas. But rough round the edges.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear mid brown colour lasting beige head toffee banana aroma. Some hop in the mouth dries it out. Toffee banana flavour in mouth. Some dryness on the finish. I mean a bit one dimensional. But it's OK I suppose. Bit of a gimmick. More Toffee than banana. Like banana Toffo sweets for those who were in the 80s

Amber gold with a bubbly/frothy white head. Definite slug of bananas on the nose, alongside some light malt. Smooth, tastes a little like banana bread with just a little spicy kick ahead of a dry toffee finish

Cask at the Playhouse Spoons, Colchester. Near clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Nose is foam bananas! Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Flavour follows the nose with big foam bananas and some very mildly tart ripe citrus. A light and semi dry finish delivers more banana, getting a little estery. Bonkers! Novel, wouldn't want a pint.
