Commercial Description:
Banks Beer, the beer of Barbados, is a premium pilsner style lager with a smooth, fresh aroma and a medium alcohol content. Banks is brewed from a pure classic blend of 2-Row British and Australian malted barleys deliciously flavored by Yakima Clusters and the noble Styrian Goldings aroma hops. It is however Barbados' water, naturally filtered through limestone rock, along with our own special strain of yeast, which give Banks Beer its unique Bajan character and distinctive quality. Consistently the #1 choice among beer drinkers in Barbados since it was first produced in 1961.

Plastic bottle. A golden beer with a white head. The aorma is sweet malty with notes of straw and grain and a light touch of brewmash. The flavor is sweet malty with a weird note of grain and brewmash. OK, but the body is a bit thin. Thanks yespr for bringing this home.

Pale golden. Light bodied. Not much flavour to speak about. Unexciting quencher.

(Plastic bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear, pilsener golden with a whiff of flowers in the aroma. Thin-bodied with a very discreet malt base and basically no bitterness. Typical - but drinkable - holiday swill. 290607

From tap. Pours pale yellow with a crispy white head. Aroma is slight grassy but also soft malty. Flavour is mild bitterness with a nice minor fruity note just before the finish. Definitely a bit better than other Caribbean pale lagers. In the humid warm weather of Barbados this is a perfect beer.
