With WHC Banana Split, discover a distinctive Hefeweizen yeast strain that sets itself apart from others on the market. Notably, our strain is non-diastatic, offering brewers a unique profile that includes high levels of isoamyl acetate, imparting a pronounced banana flavor complemented by subtle notes of apple, clove, and plum.
