Love the banana character of Hefe yeast, but hate the spicy cloves? Omega's Bananza yeast is exactly what you're looking for. Descended from a Hefeweizen strain, Bananza was developed to be non-phenolic and therefore incapable of producing clove flavors that would mask its pure banana profile. Dripping with ripe banana esters (with a hint of pear), this Omega Yeast original is perfect for pastry stouts, milkshake IPAs, and other modern ales.

Please Note: For best results we Always recommend ordering an Ice Pack with your liquid yeast. Ice Packs can be found below in the "You Might Also Like" section.

Available only in the US—while we would love to make these strains available internationally, many countries' regulations do not yet allow the sale of organisms developed using modern gene-editing, regardless of the type of modification introduced by the technique.
