Commercial Description:
The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends.

From bottle pours hazy yellow amber with okay carbonation, no head. Aroma is a bit malty and some mildew. Flavor and finish is same: a flat wheat and slightly sour malt. (Not a hefeweizen, but American wheat style).

From the bottle into a clean pint glass. Hazy orange color with quickly diminishing head. Banana citrus aroma that smells just a little weak and watered down. Slight carbonation and a wheaty, citrusy taste. Goes down easy...it is pretty light...and is damn refreshing on a summer day. Belongs at ballparks.

From bottle. Pours hazy orange colored with a short lived head. Refreshing on a hot summer day. Nnot complex but serves its purpose. Citrus and wheat aromas and flavors.

Soft German weizen smell, no esters, just a bit of skunk, bottle may be old. Pours a darker, hazy yellow than most hefes, too. Taste is rather a hybrid of German and American wheats: soft spiciness, but no clove or banana taste. Well, it’s one of Pyramid more widely sold beers, so one could expect it to be a little more broad in mass appeal. But still, it’s a very good light beer to keep around.

Ok looking but no booming head I like with the style. Decent banana clovey notes but quieted by light cereal breadiness. No real depth in flavor, as this brew never really evolved in any direction. Quenching, but lacks what I expect in a good hefe.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/yellow color. Flavor: Citrus and wheat. This is one of my favorite hefeweizens.
