I made this one 6 months ago or so and thought it was fantastic. Just right, IMO:

6lbs wheat malt
4lbs munich
.25 lbs chocolate
1 oz hallertauer @60
.25 oz hallertauer @15
Wyeast 3068 or White Labs equivalent (a must, no matter what the ingredients are)

This was mine

6 gallon recipe

5 lbs pilsner malt
5 lbs malted wheat
3 lbs munich malt
50g chocolate malt
0.25 aromatic malt
0.25 lb special b

60' sterling 1 oz
10' saaz 1 oz

I found it to be a good one. Since it was so warm here, it fermented nice and dry so I find it refreshing. :mug:
 
I guess it depends what yeast you use and its propensity to make banana esters. I used WLP380 and fermented low at 19 Celsius. I was a bit disappointed the cloves were way dominant over the banana which was completely absent at that temp for this yeast. I would've liked a little banana!:ban:
