Good Piebrations Banana Cream Pie
Noon Whistle Brewing Co.

Perfect dessert beer here. Has the taste and aroma of banana cream pie. Nothing I'd care to drink more than one of in a sitting, but delivers exactly what the name of this hefe-weizen implies.

Is there a beer made with bananas that is good? Let's see if we can find the truth.

This beer pours the color of nectarines, with a thin covering of foam. Aroma is immediately one of bananas. Taste is creamy, light with bananas and cream being the dominant profile. Mouthfeel is light, almost effervescent and the flavor profile lingers without being cloying. There is bit of underlying hint of hefeweizen, which complements nicely.

Over all, a good beer with bananas in the profile.

I had on tap at Milwaukee Burger Company. Looks like pineapple juice with foam. Sweet taste, a little too sweet. Banana flavor comes through on aftertaste. Nice dessert beer.

 

 

I am trying this beer off the tapper at the Naperville brewery location as part of a four sample flight. It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had bold and beautiful banana cream pie notes. The taste was sweeter leaning but nicely balanced and easy to drink with undeniable banana cream pie presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great dessert beer.
