We're obsessed with Daiquiris, and have been wanting to make a banana beer for years. So here it is! A frozen daiquiri-inspired kettle sour ale series brewed with lime and milk sugar to balance the acidity. Add a few thousand pounds of banana puree to mix and you get a runt-like candy expression with soft tartness and the creamy texture of banana taffy. Unlike anything we've ever made!

Sweet banana candy, creamy vanilla, and faint hint of lime nose on this one! Taste follows with a banana forward, hint of lime tart finish. I'm liking that the tart lime notes are subdued and in the background. This batch is creamy smooth...creamier than the last one...which works well with the banana vibe. This is really good!

On tap at beer mule.
Comically sweet. Banana laffy taffy and at the same time puckeringly sour.
It’s awesome if that’s what you’re looking for. I can’t decide.
