Ok soon I plan to brew a wheat beer that is hoped with arg cascade and maybe some lemon zest (not sure about that yet). But I don't know if the banana and clove flavor the hefeweizin yeast has would be good with the lemon grass flavor of the hops or should I you an american ale yeast like california ale that has a cleaner taste so the hops comes through better.
 
I like wheat beers, but not hefeweisens, so this is an easy question for me. I use WLP028 (Edinburgh) for wheat beers with good results. I've also used Safale's US-05.
 
try WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast. less Phenolics and Esters.

+1 for the WLP320. It is an excellent choice. I have a batch fermenting with it right now. I made a 1L starter and within 12 hours I had the most violent fermentation I have ever had :rockin:
