Hey Nick,

I haven't grown/tried a FHIA 18 so I can't fully comment. (Perhaps I should) However I have grown/tried Brazilian, FHIA 1 and SH 3640 and I can find differences between all three in terms of taste and eating experience.

I might be able to distinguish all three since they are all essentially grown in the same environment and soil conditions. I know that the quality of the fruit can vary a good bit based on location according to what I've read on the forum from other members personal experiences. (I know you already know this, you are a black belt banana master after all)

The Brazilian bunch is just now ripe for eating out of hand, so I think its time for another taste report. When I put it together, I'll revisit my past reports for FHIA 1 and SH 3640 and make some qualitative comparisons.
