Commercial Description:
Brewed by the original Wheat Beer Pioneers, Amber Weizen is left unfiltered for extra flavor and aroma. Rich amber in color, Pyramid Amber Weizen features three different kinds of caramel barley malts and nugget hops resulting in an exceptionally smooth and well-balanced beer that follows in the tradition of our flagship style, Pyramid Hefe Weizen.

A very good Hefeweizen, one of my favorites of the American’s attempts. Definitely worth a try.

on tap-pours a thin white head and cloudy/murky brownish yellow color. Aroma is medium wheat, mild medium fruit. Taste is creamy medium malt-caramel, medium wheat, mild medium fruit, hint of flat/earthy hops. Medium body. OK effervescence.

Draft at the Safeco Field brewpub. Cloyd dark coppery amber, slim rim of foam with dainty little sheets of lacing. Mild, though not watery, body. Light carb. Not much flavor happening. Just a hint of wheat sour and maybe a little bit of sweat. Kind of an odd fruit additive chemical taste, or something, appears for the finish.

Too bitter I think, I feel it covered the overall flavor. I didn’t really pick up on a specific aroma, generic overall. On the plus side, it was pretty smooth. I’m not into wheats and this is no different.

Bottle, malty aroma, slight sour notes, maybe infected, a bit of metallic taste maybe saaz. The sour notes really detract from the sweet malts not so good.

A mixture of wheat and caramel hit the nose first. I don’t know, though... it seems there is something there that is a bit off. I can’t quite place it. The flavore comes in with a hoppy touch on the caramel from the nose. Not quite as much wheat, but it is still there. Nothing overtly offensive, but nothing too exciting . Pretty much what expected.

wow, i get to be the 100th rater of this one. pours a cloudy orange-amber with a thin tan head. smell - roasted malt, hay, something sweet, and toffee. taste - a bit sweet (some type of fruit?), wheat, sour on the back-end. an okay beer, pyramid does not wow me much with their brews and this one is right on par with the rest.
