Beer Review: Wells & Young's Brewing Co Banana Bread Beer


Overall 8.0/10 - Wells and Young's Banana Bread beer is brewed in Bedford, England. It has a delicious banana finish and would probably have mass appeal among beer drinkers. The beer is fairly light and very smooth with excellent drinkability.

Appearance 1.4/2.0 - Very little head which is white in color, nice red-gold-brown colored body.

Smell 1.9/2.0 - Smells surprisingly like bananas. Not floral or hoppy like many beers. Very unique among beers.

Taste 3.4/4.0 - Bitter and crisp front-end flavor. Has a banana taffy flavor especially toward the finish and after taste. Very smooth and crisp, slightly sweet, and unique.

Mouth Feel 1.3/2.0 - Nice carbonation, crisp, light and easy to drink.

Pairing - Because of the sweet banana flavor this beer would go great with breakfast or brunch or any salty dinner dish. As a dessert it would be delicious with fresh baked banana bread or peach cobbler. Could also be served with fried chicken and mac-n-cheese. Would be ideal for brunch with blueberry pancakes.
