About
The storied history of one of this island’s most beloved and iconic brands began on September 6, 1961, as Banks (Barbados) Breweries Limited opened its doors in Wildey, St. Michael and commenced production of Banks Beer, Barbados’ premium lager, and later, other indigenous brands such as PLUS, Tiger Malt, Canon Stoute, Coconut Cooler, Fruesta, and TWIST Shandy, just to name a few.

Bottle from one of the supermarkets. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. The aroma is malty and the flavour is malty too, but not in a nice way. It’s weak bitter and quite watery. It’s truly awful. If I ever go to the Caribbean I’ll take my own beer!

New Beer Distributors, NY 11.2oz ($2): Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet corny grain type stuff. Taste is sweet, but has some underlying hoppiness. Easy to drink and there ain’t nothing offensive.

Bottle (275ml) at home, thanks to Rilester for lugging this back from his cricket tour, 21/03/13. Pours a light black with a good tan covering that dissipates after a few minutes. Nose is roast malt, dark fruits, figs, toffee, metallic whiff. Taste comprises roast malt, ash, brown sugars, molasses, treacle toffee, hint of coffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry and sweet in the finish. A decent enough offering!
