Commercial Description:
An American style light bodied wheat ale that is refreshingly flavorful. Crystal wheat ale was inspired by Pyramid’s first beer in 1984 the wheaten ale, which was the first year round wheat beer brewed in America since prohibition

A very good wheat beer! Golden pour with a big white head. Some nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is citrus with honey and malt. Sweet and smooth taste of fruit and honey. A nice beer!"

Six pack from the grocery store. I honestly don’t remember much about this and my notes have nothing but a number. Must have been memorable.

On tap. Clear golden with a small, creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts and fruit. Medium body, rather sweet and clean malts with a subdued bitterness. Very fresh and quaffable. 250709

The aroma is decent with notes of lemon peel and sweetness. It doesn’t appear too appealing with its pale lager color and minimal head. This beer was quite refreshing and flavorful however, with citrus, slight malt, and mild bitter finish. This wheat ale is ok; I’d prefer an unfiltered wheat instead. Cheers!

Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Barley grain aroma. Sweet malt vanilla and bready taste.

From tap at the Pyramid taphouse in Walnut Creek. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity. Citrusy hops flavoured, smooth and distinct fruity. Subdued bitter and lingering fruity flavoured finish.

Draft at the alehouse in Walnut Creek. A golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet and malty - I don’t pick up any wheat. The flavor is sweet and mostly malty, but towards the finish a light wheat note appears and makes the finish dry with just a hint of citrus fruits. Forgettable.

Orange bodied with a thick fizzy off white head. Aroma is mild lemon, light spice, sweet maltiness. Taste is off, slight souring, not in a good way, lemony, bit of finishing spiciness.
