Wells Banana Bread Beer

I'll start this one off with a few facts...1) I LOVE bananas and banana bread, and 2) I HATE fruit beers, especially when they have fruit in the name...just an FYI.

1pt 0.9 fl.oz bottle, poured in glass

Appearance
It pured a nice, medium gold color. Very little effervescence and a two finger thick head that dissappeared somewhat quickly. Very clear, I really liked the color.

Smell
It smelled like banana bread! And not like bananas...but like fresh cooked homemade banana bread. Not very strong, but just enough there to know what you're smelling. No hop semll at all and a slight 'other' sweetness that I couldn't place...the banana bread smell kept me occupied.

Taste
Doesn't taste like banana bread at all. The fruit flavor isn't overwhelming, but it's defenitely there and in your face. Definitely taste the banana, and a little citrus as well, mostly grapefruit. Aftertaste is a little bitter...hops finally make a scene there. No real hop taste otherwise. A little acidic and not much alcohol taste...reasonably balanced and it goes down OK. Nice malt background. I could drink a few of these no problem.

Mouth
Pretty light...not Bud or Miller Lite light...but it's down on the scale. Feels thin and well carbonated. Not too carbonated...but enough for the style. A little dry and moderately sweet, it's something that goes down easy.

Overall
I feel this is OK. Like I said, I don't like fruit beers. I probably won't buy this again, but put it in front of me and I'll probably drink one or three. I give it a 2.4(out of 4.0) overall.
