Did You Know
Contrary to popular belief no bananas are harmed in the making of Weizen! Banana flavours in beer are caused by a class of chemical compounds called esters, in this case, isoamyl acetate which is produced by the yeast used to ferment the beer. These esters are very evident in Belgian style beers giving pronounced fruity flavours making them deliciously moreish.
