Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small off white head. Not much on the nose but faint citrus. Decent lacing on this one. The taste is a lemon malt with a sweet finish. This was a strange hefeweizen from pyramid.

Pours a medium orange with some faint amber around the edges that had a little haze with a thin head that disappeared quickly, a orange lemon fruit fragrance, sweet and a little malt aroma, taste is sweet, citrus, wheat and dried fruit, a grainy texture mixed with the carbonation, the finish has light dried fruit and the finish had a faint offness about it, not sure why, I thought this was a little watery on the palate, lots of sediment in the bottle.

Light, scent of lemon, but almost a pale lagery taste. Wheat falvors aren’t as pronounced as I like. Palatable, but not that great.

Poured a cloudy orange/gold topped by a thin white head. The nose is slightly sweet, yet bitter with wheaty malt notes, a slight yeastiness and a touch of lemon. The flavor is slightly sweet and malty with nice lemon and yeast notes. Light, smooth and refreshing.

Good sized light orange head of medium sized bubbles. reduce slowly with good carbonation. Really cloudy dark orange in color. Almost looks like apricot juice. Dry and dusty aroma with some light peaches, ham and some spices. Dry and biscuity in flavor. Definate wheat notes. Little bit of chalkyness. Pretty sweet and not very refreshing for a wheat. Finishes oily and dry. Eh!

Had this on tap in Richmond, VA. Pours a nice cloudy orange body. Served with lemon slice. The taste was pleasant with a bit more citrus than most hefes, the aroma was the same. The finish was smooth but the thin texture seemed a bit watered down... did someone forget to carbonate this brew?
