I am trying to guess what this will taste like, and I really don' t know. Does it actually taste of banana ? That might sound like a daft question, but I know that some people regard country wine tasting of the fruits from which it is made almost as a defect. Strange thinking to my mind.

Hi chilli-head
you can taste the banana in the back ground,if you use the skins.
it turns out a very nice,H/M
