American Solera Banana Berry Boom Boom

What the brewers say

“Sour ale with banana, blueberry, coconut, marshmallow, vanilla, milk sugar, lime, sea salt.”

What our panel thought

“Tart fresh blueberry, salted donuts, marshmallow, sweet banana, vanilla underneath the thick, rich beer. The flavor is as crazy and fun as the aroma. Thick banana mixed with marshmallow and coconut. A cacophony of sweet fruit hits the palate, all vying for attention.”

What our editors thought

“Superfood Machine–smoothie vibes, with toasted marshmallow, banana, and coffee in the nose. Sweet but layered in the sip, as an acidic twang sharpens the earthier side of the fruit.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

American Solera Caballo Azul

“Big blueberry aroma, tart and not sweet, with old barnwood. Fresh blueberry flavor lingers into the aftertaste with melon and stone-fruit esters. Tannic astringency adds a pleasant structure and body.”

American Solera Chameleon Bites

“Deep, rich aroma of chocolate, coffee, brown bread, vanilla, marzipan. Rich chocolate cake and brownie edges throughout. Just bitter enough.”

American Solera BA Turtle Sundae

“First hit is Hershey’s Kisses, followed by cherry, treacle, caramel, and a nutty finish. Very sweet. The barrel wraps it all together.”
