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.

Pours cloudy amber with a small white head. Few lacings. Aroma is floral hops. Taste mild citrus hops with plenty of sweet malts. Some breadiness. This bottle had a use by date about one week from today. Probably better if fresh. Sweetness dominates the palate.

Poured a hazy orange color with a huge sparse head that disappeared quickly leaving little lacing. Aroma was spicy with hints of wheat and yeast. Taste was sweet malt and some citrus. Not a great wheat beer.

Unfiltered orange with large quickly disappearing beige head. Aroma of spicy yeast, wheat, and cereal. Taste of caramel, yeast, sweet malt, lemon and wheat. Creamy body is a bit thin but it packs a nice crisp spicy finish. Middle of the road (at best) wheat beer.

Listed as Pyramid Amber Ale at the Ale House inside the Oakland Airport (on Tap). Not really appealing to drink. Pours a murky/muddy brown color with a small, off-white head. Aroma of wheat and amber/caramel malts. Taste is a nutty wheat beer with a bit of metal on the finish. Watery and fizzy.

Bottle. Pours a hazy red-caramel color with a large beige head that completely fades away rather fast. Aroma is of yeast, wheat, alcohol and is sort of sweet. Taste is similar, but malt is present. Not a bad beer as it is inexpensive, but it was pretty hard to pour. It would probably be better if I had a fresher batch or if it was on tap.

cloudy reddish pour, light aroma and the flavor seems like it cannot decide if it’s a wheat or an amber and just cannot meld the two.
