This beer has a light amber color with a very sweet aroma. Definitely smell the bananas. Whitish head . Drinks smooth with good hop finish. For 5.2% abv really can't tell. A good beer for after dinner

Unique Niche

Nice banana and nut flavor, banana tastes of extract flavoring. Pours smoothly, lacks the expected mouthfeel. A very nice, occasional delight.

pours an amber color with a whiteish head , aroma is definitely banana bread, mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, the hops come thru right off and then give way to a light banana taste and then the malts follow which gives the bread and nut taste, it finishes clean. i wish the banana flavor was stronger with more body.

Wells Banana Bread Tasting Notes

somper's picture

Pours a light orange-brown with a very bubbly, white head. Nose holds extreme banana, some light malts. Flavor has some banana to it but it doesn’t match the intensity of the aroma. I wish it was sweeter. A tad creamy, this beer brings to mind banana cream pie. I wish the beer had more body, though. Finish is crisp. Interesting and decent, but as it is I wouldn’t put it above novelty status.
