Ok, here’s the deal. Not telling the whole story is not the same thing as lying. Therefore, I choose not to review beers that I don’t like. I admire any brewery going out on a limb and making beer, and who am I to condemn them. Besides, people have very different tastes. A buddy of mine, and regular reader, (thanks for reading Mingo), tried a beer I liked a lot and highly recommended, (Lagunitas Brown Shugga’), and he didn’t really care for it. In fact, he may still have some in his fridge, although I highly doubt it. Anyway, I digress.
Moral of the story, this is not one of my favorites, and I love bananas. It is a good clean, crisp ale, with a pretty overpowering artificial banana taste. Try it for yourself, but the name and description promised more than the beer delivered. But don’t get me wrong, I didn’t pour it down the drain. I never judge a beer completely until the last sip!
salut.
5 natural and artificial bananas.
