My favorite beer - Live Oak Hefeweizen - has natural banana notes in it. It seems that’s common for Hefes, anyway.
I’d be curious as to how the bananaweizen tastes and whether it ruins the beer - like a Radler in Britain or Blue Moon which kinda tastes a bit artificial.
I posted in another comment about micheladas, but I think why I make a distinction about that not ruining the beer is due to the complexity of the flavor.
- Nursie 5y agoThe yeasts used for hefe’s quite often produce banana ester. Many/most yeasts do at certain temperatures and it’s considered an ‘off’ flavour in most styles, but desired in some white beers.
- omneity 5y agoBeer and banana mix pretty well surprisingly. Radler (beer with some lemonade in it) is also pretty common in Germany, with a similar reputation to what you describe.
