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.

Bottle: Pours a golden nectar-like color with a thin white head. This is a very good looking hefeweizen. The aroma is rather flat. Standard notes of citrus zest and sweetness. Very refreshing beer. Tastes like an average hefe. Its not bad, nor very good. I wouldn’t turn one down if offered but I wouldn’t seek this one out either.

this pint poured by ayn rand loving bartender - john’s - steep recommendation. pyramid hefe pours with a riverbed sediment heavy yellowish-orange hue. visually swirling citrus notes darken as outer lights descend through the glass. aroma proclaims divine purpose of the lemon peel - bright and floral and yellow. i sip with high expectancy. the hazy citrus appearance infuses thick clouds of breakfast beverage flavor. i want to drink this beer early in the day - maybe with a coffee and eggs benedict. orangey aftertaste does not offend the initial refreshment or disturb the beer-at-six-AM fantasy. i would drink this beer in the morning before work if i could find the right job. my first - not last - pyramid offering.

A weird combination of right on target and totally average. Appearance is standard while nicely cloudy, aroma is non-existent, flavor is smooth but not excellent. Usual notes of wheat, yeast, lemon. I only drink it on tap though.

Pours a glowing orange and hay colored, with a quickly dissipating head. A taste of orange citrus, though vanishingly small. Cool and refreshing without being overly complex, would be considered a good table wine if it were a wine. But as it’s a beer, it’s only worth ordering when there’s nothing better available. Still, it’s a solid beer.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Hazy yellow colored brew. Wheaty, citric and watery. Not that good, but refreshing.

Poured a glowing straw color with medium head. Aroma is faint, wheat and thats it. Not alot of flavor, tastes like I am drinking a home brew from a kit. This beer is not a drain poor but nothing I would buy again. kinda boring and tastes like cloves.

Poured a hazy yellow color with minimal head. Aroma is wheat and a faint citrus note. Flavor is mildly citrus, but mainly just wheat. Not the best in its style by any means.

Pours a cloudy yellow. No foam. Aroma is faint, hint of citrus. Flavor is... nonexistent? To say this is bland and weak would be an understatement. Very disappointing.
