Wells Banana Bread Beer


Tried this beer out on a lark. When I purchased this beer, there was no price on the shelf. At the counter the clerk couldn't find it in the computer, so it was FREE! Score. There is not alot of information about this beer on the brewery website http://www.wellsandyoungs.co.uk/. To start, this beer really does smell of banana bread. Good start. There is not alot of head on this beer. The color is golden. The nice thing about this beer is that it does not have that extract banana bread flavoring taste. The flavor is exactly what the label says "banana bread". I give the brewery points for that. There is a taste of clove in it as well. The mouthfeel though is medium. With this flavor, I would imagine that the mouthfeel would have been better if it were lighter. Also, if it were a creamier it would have been better. There is also an after taste that is a bit odd and out of place. The idea for this beer is a good one, I just wished it was brewed better. It is not a bad beer, but not a great one either. I would buy this beer as a single just to try it out, but wouldn't buy a four pack. I grade this beer a C+.
