Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

it’s pretty good. but hef’s are always good. the widmer brother’s is better though.

OK, I’m not going to get into the whole American Wheat vs. Hefeweizen thing with this one so I shall proceed to simply rate this wheat beer as it is, which is rather decent overall. Faint wheaty malty aroma, slightly fruity and nice. Pretty orange golden pour with a decent head and a touch of lacing, cloudy with the yeast the beer aquires a more vibrant appearance. Nice and fluffy on the palate, filling and extremely smooth. This one drinks easy and satisfies quickly. Flavorful for an American Wheat, but not close to an authentic Hefe the flavor is still solid. Heavy wheat influence, lightly fruity, clean and balanced. This is a solid brew.

Mmm...sudsy white head yes... cloudy yes... dark orange??? wtf? This neither really looks nor tastes like a German hefeweizen.. o wait I’ve been fooled its an American Wheat. I guess it is darker since they added the extra malt. Its decent beer, but if youre going to write "hefeweizen" on the bottle make it in the German style... if not.. write "American Wheat" Dusty sweet aroma, Flavor is smooth and sugary-sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Very watery...

God this is just an awful beer. I dont know how it is rated so highly. This and Widmer are both bad. It does not have any real flavor and is pretty much disgusting, both inside and out. Would not drink unless it is the only thing available, and even then I might still have a Pepsi or Coke.

This beer starts out looking alright but ends up falling short on everything in my opinion. Aroma is pretty typical for a Hefe, but still has a watery, hollow quality. Taste gave a similar experience. Finish seems alright as well, but then gives a long wateriness followed by a slight hop flavor, then more long water aftertaste. Overall it seems alright, but with a little thought and careful tasting I realized it just comes up short all around.

Pretty good wheat beer. Nice golden cloudy appearance. Very nice light taste.

Not a bad wheat beer at all....even better for an American Wheat. Pours cloudy and rich, with nice head and lacing. Dense smells of wheat and malt, which carry through the beer. Taste is nice, easy, and drinkable for a wheat. Not as rich as traditional Belgium or German wheats, but nice. A little lighter.

This is not the best wheat beer I have had ...by quite some distance. Does have a nice bready aroma but that is about it
