Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

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

Draught at an overpriced seafood restaurant in Seattle. Served way too cold with a wedge of lemon on the edge of the glass - sigh. Hazy orange-amber with a small white head. Fairly typical hefe aroma with notes of yeast, banana and mild spice. Light body. Average flavour that is pretty much to style. Doesn’t hold a candle to the classics of the style, but it’s a decent enough beer.

Great with a wedge of lemon. Pours cloudy honey brown. Great wheat beer flavor with a pleasing finish

Pour is hazy orange. Aroma of orange, spice ,and wheat. Flavors of malt, wheat, and some lemon and spice. Refreshing beer thats good with pizza.

Don’t be a hater - Better than what i remembered. Very smooth wheat with lots of banana flavor. Somewhat sweet - kind of has a bubblegum essence to it. This beer is kind of like Pop Music and grape soda- not much substance but overall a fun drink and pretty enjoyable, not something i would drink all the time but does not mean its not worth drinking.

Pours the typical hazy amber of the hefeweizen with a thick, white, frothy head. The aroma is very lackluster, sour and maybe some orange. The flavor is a step down if thats possible. There is an odd corn flavor (not a good thing in a weizen) and basically nothing else. Nothing at all. The palate (if you can call it that) was thin and a tad crisp. The finish was indescribable, so I won’t attempt it. Just know that it’s bad. Very bad. I’d avoid this at all costs.....wait...unless its free.

The color was a murky orange. The head was frothy and white. The aroma was citris and yeasty, not very complex. The palate was watery and the finish, not long-lasting.

Pours a nice hazy orange/amber, a little bit darker than I expected for a hefe. About an inch of white foam. Decent lace. Sweet honeymalt flavor and mildly hoppy. Surprising for a hefe. I detect no citrus or spiciness, no yeast characteristics either. Actually, it tastes more like a pretty good amber ale than a hefeweizen. More spicy hops in the aftertaste. Good carbonation, medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, muddy yellow with thin white head. The aroma is clove, zest, pepper, and various other spices. The flavor is like banana bread, with alcohol, clove, and mulling spices. The banana comes out especially in the finish. Kind of a weird aftertaste. Ok, but not great.
