Using WLP360 and fermented in the mid 70's. Accidentally heated it far too warm after fermentation was complete to probably 100*. It was warm on the skin to touch, and the crystal thermometer was out of range. Just racked to secondary today and sample tasting is of pure yeast. Will this clear up in time? I was brewing deathbrewer's banana bread ale.
 
I would expect it to taste a bit yeasty for now. That is a wheat yeast if I'm remembering correctly. The high fermentation temps after fermentation is complete shouldn't be a huge deal. I would expect cold conditioning for a few weeks should clear up some of the yeast.
