Production & Heritage
903 Brewers was founded by Jeremy and Natalie Roberts in Sherman, Texas, where the brewery operates a facility capable of producing up to 117,800 gallons per batch with an automated canning line running at 45 cans per minute. The brewery has earned national recognition, including a silver medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival for their Sasquatch Imperial Chocolate Milk Stout. Their dessert cream ale series is built on a philosophy of using real, large-quantity specialty ingredients — famously incorporating items like 150 lbs of Cookies N Cream Cake from a local bakery into a single batch — rather than relying solely on artificial flavorings. The Banana Coconut Cream Pie expression applies this same approach, layering banana, coconut, and pastry-inspired additions onto a smooth cream ale base.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Ripe banana leads immediately, followed by toasted coconut and a subtle vanilla-laced sweetness. The overall impression is unmistakably reminiscent of a freshly baked cream pie.
Taste: The palate opens with a soft, creamy mouthfeel typical of the cream ale style. Mid-palate, banana sweetness weaves together with coconut richness, while a light graham-cracker-like pastry quality emerges toward the peak. The 6.5% ABV keeps things sessionable, and the sweetness stays on the dessert side without becoming cloying.
Finish: Medium in length with lingering coconut and a clean, lightly sweet fade. A faint toasted character rounds out the close, inviting the next sip.
How to Drink Banana Coconut Cream Pie
Best served chilled between 38–45°F straight from the can or poured into a tulip glass to release the aromatic complexity. A frosted pint glass also works well for casual drinking on warm days.
