I recently made a Hefewiezen and while the beer taste OK, it doesn't have the banana flavor that I believe it should have. My understanding is that the banana flavor typically comes from the Yeast.
For this recipe, I used Weihenstephan Weizen (Wyeast Labs #3068). My fermentation temperature was probably a bit high - ~72-74 degrees but still within the Yeast range.
Question is what could be the reasons for not getting the banana or fruity flavors? The yeast is a weizen yeast and is described as providing these flavors.
I'd like to try this recipe again but really want the flavors to come out properly next time.
