marked 31/05/09 on the bottle.

a- clear brown colored, similar in hue to the crust of a good banana bread. A little bit of a creamy beige head. The appearance honestly does suggest "banana bread"

s- bready malts, spices, and banana extract sweetness in the nose. the banana smells like real banana mixed in with a bit of banana candy flavor. Still not that bad.

t- this is more like the real thing. bananas, spices, thick bready malts, brown sugar and vanilla. Brown sugar sweetness lingers, then gives way to an overly watery finish. I find myself liking the flavor and wanting more of it than what this offers.

m- bland, thin and watery. carbonation feels fake and boring.

d- Well its sweet and fairly tasty, but it has several boring characteristics. This all makes it an easily drinkable beer, but I feel there is no way to get around the issue of cost with this one. I love banana bread, but I am never going to drop $5 for a bottle of this stuff again. It's just not what something like this should cost, period. It was good for a try, but that's it.
