spitfire, bananas?

[robsan77]

Hi,
Just drinking a spitfire, nice drink. It has a slighly fruity banana taste to it which I quite like (big fan of the banana bread beer too)
Does anyone know what creates that flavour, I get the impression it could be a yeast, dont know why tho.

I`m not sure either - but i`m sure i have seen a post about flavours produced by different yeasts so i think your on the right track - also its possible to make banana wine and use them in other wines.

Banana beer?

you could try, WLP022 Essex Ale Yeast. It is estery and that were the banana taste comes from.
