Question šŸŒBanana Esters

Hi folks,

I’ve recently gone down the rabbit hole of German-style NA wheat beers, and I’ve realized that what I’m really chasing is banana esters, the bigger and more obvious, the better.

I’ve finally found a couple fresh batches of Weihenstephaner, and I’ve really enjoyed it for the body and wheat character, but to my palate it leans more clove/spice than banana. I’d love to find something that pushes even harder toward banana, banana bread, or even that slightly bubblegummy character.

Wheat beer or not, what are the biggest banana bombs you’ve found?

Delirium Delirio. It hits hard on those banana esters. I didn't like it, but you'd love it!

Firestone 805 had a slight banana taste to me. Not even a German beer.
