It isn't the same as the active form of yeast used in baking and beer making.

Flakes are more common, but some nutritional yeast products out there come as powders. Personally, I have a strong preference for nutritional yeast flakes over powder. There are two other factors I would consider looking at when choosing a brand of nutritional yeast—but neither of them have to do with the taste or culinary side of things. They have to do with the product safety and the nutritional fortification.
For a full discussion of the 3 best nutritional yeast brands based on these factors, check out my blog post all about it. Nutritional yeast contains no salt or sodium—but personally, I would describe it as having a salty taste.
But to me, it does seem a bit salty, and many others agree. When I wrote my blog post about vegan substitutes for anchovies , I included both nutritional yeast and marmite and Vegemite!

This is obviously a subjective question, but I wanted to address it quickly before we finish up. So, yeast produces a ton of flavors the specific esters, phenols and alcohols listed are just the most commonly discussed.
There are many, many more out there! Thankfully, there are established expectations for yeast character in most beer styles that will point you in the right direction. Here's what to look for. American-style beers tend to express minimal yeast character, instead highlighting the flavors and aromas associated malt and hops. The typical American ale yeast strain is very "clean," producing few esters or phenols. As with all yeasts, fusel alcohols will be produced if yeast is worked too hard or allowed to ferment at high temperatures.
Generally speaking, English ale yeasts tend to express more estery character than their American cousins. They also can ferment a bit less thoroughly than American ale yeast, leaving a bit more sweetness that will emphasize the malty flavors in beer. Find yourself a Fuller's ESB, or better yet, a locally-brewed cask bitter, and look for apple, pear, or generic "fruity" esters, as well as low concentrations of diacetyl, a flavor compound that tastes a bit like butter.
Belgian ales are where yeast character really gets to shine. Traditional yeast strains produce very high levels of esters, phenols, and fusel alcohols, and leave the beer very dry, accentuating these flavors. Look for complex spice and fruit character all over these beers. Grab a yeasty tripel like Westmalle's example, a wit like St. Bernardus, a dry Belgian strong pale ale like Duvel, and a rustic saison like the classic Saison Dupont to get a full feel of what Belgian ale yeast strains can do.
German wheat beers are another great way to taste what yeast can do. Packed with isoamyl acetate and 4-vinyl guaiacol, any traditional German wheat beer will showcase banana and clove-like ester and phenol flavors in bounds.
