Question: 1 / 400

Which flavor is primarily derived from yeast?

Honey

Banana

The flavor that is primarily derived from yeast is banana. This characteristic is particularly notable in certain styles of beer, especially those made with top-fermenting yeasts, such as Hefeweizens and other wheat beers. The banana flavor arises from the production of esters during fermentation, specifically isoamyl acetate, which has a banana-like aroma and taste.

Honey, apple, and citrus flavors may arise from various ingredients including malt, hops, and other flavorings, but they do not result primarily from the yeast fermentation process. Honey can contribute sweetness and floral notes, while apple notes can come from certain types of malt or adjuncts. Citrus flavors are typically attributed to specific hop varieties that impart those bright and zesty characteristics in the beer. In contrast, the distinct banana flavor is a direct product of yeast activity, making it the correct choice.
