The Review:
Once again, I fell victim to good marketing, and bought this beer because of the bright label and catchy name! I was also curious as to how banana would taste in a beer.
What are you're initial thoughts?
When I first took a sip, I thought this was pretty disgusting. I think, much like with any wheat beer that isn't a citrus flavor, I wasn't expecting the lack of citrus flavor. The clove flavor (the beer advertises as having a banana and clove flavor), was much stronger than I had anticipated, and I honestly couldn't taste any banana. After a few days though, I tried this beer again and it tasted better than I had originally thought. I still didn't notice the banana flavor until the very end of a glass though. I'm a bit disappointed that the banana flavor isn't stronger because I'm rather fond of bananas.
How's the price?
I paid about $8.50 US for a six-pack, so it's pretty average when it comes to cost of wheat beer.
Would you ever buy this again?
Probably not. While I wouldn't out and out say that this is a bad beer, I didn't enjoy every bottle of it. I wish the banana was stronger, but even then I don't know how I would feel about it.
