Lisa,

Banana, clove and bubble gum esters are signature flavors and aromas to be found in a German Wheat beer (weizen). Basically, they are imparted by the yeast. This is a good thing! Certain yeast strains give off more of these esters than others, and not all American brewers use these yeast strains in their beers. True, German-style wheat beers will display the flavors that you describe, whether they are Hefeweizen, Dunkel Weizen or Weizen Bock. Sounds like Victory's beer was right on target!
