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.

pours a nice cloudy orange brown with a fluffy white head. looks like real apple cider.aroma is metallic, bready and citric. flavor is the same. light bodied. after taste reminds me of the flavor of puking up beer.

A standard, if unimpressive, hefeweizen. A bit too sweet for my tastes, but I always have preferred dunkelweizens anyway. Worth a try at least.

bread in a bottle, yeasty character, which I prefer more in my belgians than in strong dose in a hefe. This one is crisp yet doughy from a bottle. Not sure how they manage that. Kinda like having a tart funnel cake. Despite the grandios pyramids on the label, this one amounts to more like a crop circle of a hefeweizen.

if one is into ’chiefs’ then this is a goodun... nice and smooth and quite refreshing, though Paulaner is the real king of this style

Are you kidding me? This heinous orange concoction states it is brewed from a "Bavarian-inspired recipe." Yeah, maybe a recipe for saurkraut but not for a wheat beer. Unfortunately I can’t find a domestic wheat beer fit to kiss the posterior of any Bavarian weizenbier and that’s a shame because I want to buy American.

Tap. Here’s another random fruity pebbles-tasting imitation hefeweizen... typically served with a lemon unless you specifically ask the bartenders not to. Overly citrusy (I highly doubt that it’s entirely due to the yeast, I swear they put some chemicals in this stuff...), but definitely wheaty. Not very intense flavors. Pretty light body. When you drink this beer, try not to think of all the actually good beers you could be drinking at that moment.

33cl bottle. Rather unremarkable hefe. Nothing interesting in the aroma, flavor or finish.

Dumb label - Pyramid really should improve their labels. This is a little cloudy with no head. The beer goes down fresh and fizzy with a pleasant hefe flavor, a hint of sweetness and a dash of hoppy snap. A very good American hefeweizen, but I have had it several times, and some bottles are not as good as others.
