Largely inspired by the bounty of flavors in their banana dragon fruit popsicle, 86 Bananas is a Belgian-style ale with hints of dragon fruit that’s sure to keep you cool on a hot summer’s day – its magenta-hue makes it a little off-beat, but that’s just how Any Colour You Like rolls – pushing the limits of what a popsicle, and beer, can be.
