This shit is bananas! B.A.N.A.N.A.S! Pours cloudy orange/brown with nearly no head. Aroma is bananas, clove, and citrus. Flavor is banana like woah! Spices and rather sweet. Pretty full mouth feel. Very good beer for the summer!

Hazy peach color with a thin quickly dissipating head. Aroma of banana, toffee and mild citrus and clove. Taste of bananas, light spice and some sweet malts. Somewhat tart and sour. Decent attempt at a banana beer, though I think I’ll stick with the Hefeweizen varieties when I want that sort of flavor.

hmm... this one is interesting. pours a murky orange color, smells tart and kinda like sour bananas. The flavor is very acidic, almost like a berliner weiss or sour ale. I see this has gotten some pretty bad reviews but i actually really enjoy it, really depends on what your tastes are, someone who loves sour pickles or things in vinegar will probably love this or anyone that doesnt like that stuff will hate it, so don’t base your judgment on trying this beer by the reviews you read you just have to get your own opinion on it.

Bottle: Pours a clear yellow orange with a white head. This one was really simple, smelled like swedish fish. Tasted like circus peanuts (the candy). But at least ogglethorp loved it.

Re-rate, Upon further review this is just OK. Bottle forced upon us by sliffy, yoouuu baassttaarrdd Pours hazy banana-y straw color with a smallish white head. Aroma has been accurately described as swedish fish, rotting bananas. Flavor is circus peanuts meets swedish fish, banana juice, light malts. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished oh soooo delicious I hear the calliope playing when I drink this amazing stuff I may have to re-rate this at a later date

shp555’s Revenge to me for the Chapeau Banana I gifted the Atlanta Crew with. Yum Yum. i love those banana beers! (where’s the peanut butter jelly??) Fire - brewed African Style Ale. Aroma of banana candy. Flavor is light but its all banana with a hint of potassium aftertaste.
