Try fermenting between 70 and 75 for more banana flavor. Lower than 68 will give you the clove-like flavor you have now. I love a good hef. Cheers!

Brewed this right at 68°F and the clove/banana had a fantastic balance. Last time, I did 66°F and had just clove, but there were many other issues with that last one. This batch was fantastic!
