Wells Banana Bread Beer

This English "strong" ale comes in at 5.2% alcohol but also has some unique characteristics. Wells Banana Bread Beer pours an iced tea color with significant amount of carbonation but with absolutely no head. I honestly could not tell if it was actually a brew after it sat for a few minutes. The aroma is obviously of bananas, but also of wheat and banana peel. The taste is somewhat like the aroma but much more artificial and dull. After drinking for a while the beer becomes overwhelmingly watery and boring. The texture is lacking and it leaves a bitter sharp aftertaste of bananas. If you would like to try something strange and a little "out there" then this is the brew for you.

Appearance - 2.8
Smell - 3.1
Taste - 3.0
Texture - 3.0
Overall - 2.98/5
