I have visions of Jilly Goolden and Oz Clarke describing the aromas and flavours of wines on the Food and Drink programme.

Just trying a bottle of Banana Bread Beer for the first time....courtesy of a multi-buy offer at Tesco (other supermarkets are available).

On the label is: "Long ago, ale was known as 'Liquid Bread'. We've long history of creating the finest malt blends and added Fairtrade bananas and 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 flavours are balanced by the silky richness of a masterful malt blend and the peppery spice of the freshest ripest hops".

I'm enjoying the taste by the way but just cannot compare the blurb with the taste.

Ignore the blurb, written by copywriters who've probably never drink the stuff .....

Exactly...it's all about the taste at the end of the day.

Memories of the wine waiter when having a meal pouring a little into the glass for (usually) the guy to taste (how sexist).

Has anyone actually sent it back as not to taste?
