Our dried Hefeweisen strain, unlike other hefe strains on the market, is non-diastatic. Produces high amounts of isoamyl acetate which is perceived as a banana flavor balanced with less dominant aromatics of apple, clove, and plum. The esters are more dominant at high temperatures and at lower pitches. Leaves a crisp finish, and raising temperatures can increase banana flavor.
