beer 186 - Wells Banana Bread Beer

Brewed and bottled by Wells and Young's Brewing Co, Bedford, UK.  Bought at Spec's Liquor downtown Houston and drunk at home in Katy with dinner of cheese ravioli, asparagus and brussel sprouts after spending the morning working on an analysis of customers and revenue and the afternoon building a tool rack in the garage to hold the tools we moved from Katy.

The brewery web site is: http://www.wellsandyoungs.co.uk/ a really neat web site showcasing a really neat brewery.

The bottle says "Long ago ale was known as 'liquid bread'. We've used our long history of creating the finest malt blends and added fairtrade bananas to awaken the senses with a seriously fruity, rich yet surprisingly versatile banana bread beer.  An inspired brew made with our own natural mineral water and fairtrade bananas.  Tempting banoffee aromas and flavors are balanced by the silky richness of a masterful malt blend and the peppery spice of the freshest, ripest hops. alc by vol. 5.2%"

An interesting flavor, it did remind me of banana pudding (without the custard) The beer was not a great match for the ravioli but it still tasted great, different and unusual but still very good.  I enjoyed this beer.
