Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

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

Had this beer on 6/22/2000. Aroma very light malt scent. Color is hazy gold, with light carbonation and good head. Taste light and fruity. Starting with a light/medium body that goes down smooth. Finish is very light with a slightly sweet malt flavor. Overall it’s good, but not what I think a Hefe should be.

Rated 8/26/07. Courtesy of ’Naka. Light gold, mall white head. Good wheat flavor. No banana or clove, really, but the most smooth, American style wheat I’ve had. Pretty good.

Tasted at Pyramid’s Berkeley from draught. Looked and smelled wonderful. Creamy golden, scent of tangerines. Tasted awful, though, like the wet leather of of a baseball mitt after a couple of hours of playing on a hot August afternoon. Just a touch of esters, nothing I would ever drink again.

On tap at the SoDo brewery. Pours cloudy gold with a lacy white head. Unfortunately, the barman saw fit to park a lemon slice on the rim, which pretty much destroyed my ability to rate it as a beer. Why do they do this? Are they so ashamed of the product that they don’t want anyone to find out what the unadulterated taste is? It’s an OK wheat flavored lemonade.

was an ok hef.. i’ve had better ones but still drinakble color was very dark orange and smelled citrus

A kind of one dimensional hefeweizen. It has the traditional characteristics of hefeweizen but none of them really come out to shine like in some of the German ones. I don’t mean to rag on it, I’ll have a glass when I’m out at a bar, but I’d probably never seek it out.

I like a good refreshing hefe. And I agree with the others refections on it’s aroma, color, and mouthfeel....It’s nothing special, but then again it didn’t piss me off like it did some others... When you’re bargain shopping half-drunk just before the liquor stores closes on a saturday night, you get what you pay for...$5.99/sixer...(a deal)

Pours out a hazy orange-yellow with little to no head. This smells strangely like Budweiser. In fact alot like it. Moving on to the taste, wow, this is awful. This tastes like a normal Budweiser, the only difference is that this is darker and cloudy. Where is the spice? Where is the yeast? Where is the classic banana-like flavors of a decent weizen? What bullshit is this? Pissed I bought a six pack.
