Pyramid Crystal Wheat

Brewed by Pyramid Breweries
Style: Wheat Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

Bottle. Pours a yellow with a little white head. Smells of wheat, citrus and malt. Taste is the same, wheat, citrus, and a hint of orange. This is definately a summer beer. Very light easy drinking beer.

Bottle labeled Crystal Wheat Ale, and tagged an American Wheat Ale. Touch of wheat and clove in the aroma, but not much there. Pours a clear light amber with about half an inch of white head. The flavor is more hops then wheat. Bitter notes, touch of pith, and the barest hint of wheat. Very light mouthfeel. Not bad, but not the first thing I’d reach for.

Bottle from Ray’s Food Place in Rogue River, OR. Poured a yellow color and had a sweet malty smell. Tastes of banana and other summer fruits. It went down very clean and smooth on a warm summer day.

Pretty bland and dry. Not a whole lot to say about this one. If you don’t like flavor, then this bud’s for you.

nothing spectacular here. thirst quenching, would call this a light wheat since the tang is not really there. came in a sample pack. i do like this brewery.

On tap at Sac brewery. Billed as an unfiltered brew, this one was clearer than my shower door (when dry). There wasn’t anything that stood out; it was just a very smooth, yet bland, Hefe.

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a decent, active, frothy, white head that lasts. Taste is of wheat, yeast, grass and some citrus. Has a light wheat aroma. Oily body. Light, clean, refreshing and easy to drink. Would be great on a hot day and is worth getting when on sale. On a side note, I liked this beer better from the bottle.

Slight sour milk odor. For a crystal wheat, it’s a bit cloudy with a lemon yellow color to it. Kind of a clean crisp malt flavor. Overall it’s OK, but nothing too outstanding...
