A Note on This Beer

The Mighty Banana from our new friends at Pontoon Brewing can only be described as an ultra-decadent, ultra-boozy Bananas Foster! 

These Georgia-based brewers stuff their brand-new Belgian Strong Golden Ale with rum-soaked bananas, spicy cinnamon, sumptuous Madagascar vanilla, and sweet banana puree to conjure all the delectable flavors associated with the classic confection. 

Take all that melty ice-cream, burnt brown sugar, and toasted banana flavor, and spike it with a discreet 9% ABV? Now, you’ve got a dessert-inspired delight that’ll have you feeling like you’re relaxing the day away on a real Pontoon boat.

That’s exactly the sort of care-free, kick-your-legs-up mindset this skilled crew aims to create with their unique, small-batch brews! 

And, I think it’s fair to say that they’ve succeeded. Besides the buzz they’ve stirred up amongst locals in their three years since opening, Pontoon won GOLD at the 2020 US Open Beer Championships!

Are you prepared to hop aboard this brew-boat, and crack open a can of Mighty Banana? 

*This is the FIRST time Pontoon’s brews have left the Southeast!  

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

This one was a little weird at first but grew on me... gotta love banana to appreciate. Vanilla and cinnamon swirl through the finish. Last few sips as got warmer were a little bleh but loved the bold flavors that were on the front end.

Interesting beer. Only Drank about 1/4 of the can because it’s VERY rich. I think the cinnamon sort of throws it off w/ the 9% because the cinnamon has a throat punch by itself.

I expected a bigger banana flavor, so that was a bit disappointing.. But overall it was a smooth golden ale for being a 9%. I'll play around with temperatures for the 2nd can to see if more of the flavors come thru then. But as of right now, I wouldn't get this again.

Banana and cinnamon flavors are not discernable. This is not reminiscent of Bananas Foster.

Oh man, to me, this brought me back to my trip to Germany. It reminded me of the Hefeweizen served up in the local taverns. Simply delicious.

It has a strong flavor of liquor so this beer isnt for the weak Nice crispy flavor of banana with a sweet taste due to the vanilla and cinnamon But it does have a strong after taste What you expect from a 9% Ale Its a creeper Good Beer Overall

Easy to drink, but the banana flavor isn't very forward. However, the hint of banana that's in there doesn't taste fake. I also don't taste the cinnamon. Despite those issues, it's still a good accompaniment to a light lunch.

I expected a big banana flavor, but this one was much more of a golden ale. Still very good. The banana was a pleasant addition to a crisp drinkable beer.

Good flavor. Head didn’t last long and lack of carbonation, (compared to Belgian counterparts), gave it a syrupy mouthfeel. It seems like most American imitations of Belgian ales are slightly disappointing.

Loved this beer! Huge fan of Belgians and this doesn’t disappoint. Banana tastes slightly artificial but was still very good. Perfect dessert beer and not too sweet.

Love the subtle toasty banana flavour. It’s not as overbearing as I thought it would be! Brown sugar and baking spices on the back of the flavour. Super fun!
