Bankston 88 is a wheat-based belgian pale ale that combines light citrus flavors with a blend of belgian yeast and west coast, and Japanese hops. Centennial and Sorachi Ace hops, contribute to aromas dominated by lemon verbena, grapefruit, cedar, and gardenia flowers. Flavors include fresh bread, lemongrass, a variety of acidic fruits such as meyer lemon and grapefruit. Mouthfeel is both crisp and mouth-coating due to a large proportion of wheat. In the end you have a complex, balanced beer that proves that a session beer can have incredible depth of flavor all while remain light and undeniably drinkable.

Looks the part but tastes more like an IPA than a belgian...

I don't Generally like this style of beer, but had it on suggestion at the brewery (cool place by the way) by another customer. I was pleasantly surprised by how easily drinkable this beer is. ABV is a bit lower than expected for this class which makes it more of a sessionable beer. Sweeter on the front end with almost no bitterness but complex enough that you are surprised, citrusy but with a great deal of spice, lacy head, great clean mouthfeel. I loved this beer.

On tap at the brewery. From notes. Reviewed 30 July 2015.
3.75/4/3.25/4/3.5
Light and citrusy with a yeasty aftertaste. Almost utterly unassuming, but it makes for an alright summer session beer. Wouldn't have again, especially if their IPA is around.
