I made the oktoberfest kit from midwest, but used S-04 yeast due to the lack of fridge space for lagering. Today I cracked my first bottle and found that it had the slightest banana esters...more of an aroma than actual taste. Will this diminish over time, or is it permanent? It doesn't make the beer bad by any means, just wondering if I should let it bottle condition for another month or two? Also, is this a byproduct of using an ale yeast for a beer that's traditionally lagered, or was it a mistake during the brewing process?
