I'm kind of tired of the banana/clove vibe in my wheat beers. What's your favorite non-weizen yeast for wheat beers?

Safale S-05 and Nottingham both will make a good american wheat. You can also use WLP 320, american hefe yeast wont give you all the fruity flavors.

It's a sickness!
WLP 001, this in combo with the Saaz hops is a beautiful thing.

I've used white labs california, california v, and east coast ale yeasts and they've all made good wheat beers.

I recently took my hefe (which normally gets fermented with Weihenstephaner) recipe and subbed in some washed/harvested Forbidden Fruit yeast from Wyeast (3463). I have to say, it is one of the most refreshing, mouthwatering beers I've made to date. I fermented it around 67f. If there was a comp coming up, I'd rig up BMBF and send some bottles away. Really, I can't recommend the 3463 enough for wits and wheats.

Basically, you can use any ale yeast with wheat malt and get a good ale.
