Tried the Hefeweizen brewed with the Fermentis WB06 Wheat yeast yesterday and was very, very pleased with the results. Very balanced character with some definite banana, clove phenols present.

I took Jami Zainasheff's advice and fermented it low (like 63'ish) and, of course, he was again correct.

Simplest recipe ever:

6# American 2 Row (pilsner might be in order next batch)
6# Wheat
1oz Liberty - 60 min

Mash 153, pulse sparge (I'm liking this method).
Ferment 63
O/G: 1.050 F/G: 1.010
