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.

Hefeweizen tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Pretty basic Hefeweizen,drinkable by all means. Slight sweetness and a bit creamy.

As a beer it is uh well palatable. As for it saying it is a hefeweizen is ridiculous. I am not a fan.

12 oz brown bottle(s) at EFoB ’08. Cloudy dark gold, amazing tight, creamy head that lasted throughout the glass. Aroma of dusty wheat with lemon. Flavour was creamy wheat malts. Light bodied, mild carbonation, pretty basic, but it went down well at the fest.

Pours cloudy yellow. 2 inches of sudsy white head that quickly dissipates. Smells slightly of wheat, not a lot in the nose. Taste is wheat with just about the right level of sweetness, not sticky but definitely present. Mouth is pretty flat and medium to light bodied, good for the style. This beer is ok alone, but it is really nice with a lemon or lime wedge on a summer day.

I’m not into hefe’s that much but I wanted to try a good one and my good friend and fellow homebrewer told me to try this one, and that it was pretty good. Well, I tried it on tap, and I thought it was pretty good. It had a little wheat smell to it. A white head that didn’t realy stick around too long, and in the flavor I realy did taste a little fuity notes kinda like bannanas, (just barely) I’m sure there are great hefe’s out there, and Iv’e heard of some good imported ones. But this one isn’t that bad.

Wheat what? Not the best hefe...actually, not even close. I could not detect any depth of character for the style in this beer. It was, however, relatively cold and refreshing on a hot Las Vegas day.

12oz. squat bottle. I truly disliked this weak, horrible excuse for a Hefe. It did not example any of the characteristics of a good Hefeweizen, it was watery as all get out, and the finish was bitter on top off all that. STAY AWAY! Try the curve-ball instead.

I was really unimpressed by this beer’s flavor, or lack thereof. It really tastes much like a cheap American lager. Yes, like MGD or Budweiser. Very sweet and corny flavor, with no depth or character. Not that good at all. Smells good, looks good, performs poorly overall. Sorry Pyramid.
