Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

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

Bottle pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is on with banana and yeast. Unfortunately I do not have much else to say that is good. Thin body with metallic taste with a light wheat backing. Not much going on.

Draft at Mactarnahan’s taproom. Blah blah boring. Too light, no flavor, watery.

Pours a light yellow hazy color. Aroma is of tart wheat and light clove. Taste is mild clove, light banana and some tangy wheat. If you’re going to call it a hefeweizen, then you ought to put a hefeweizen in this bottle instead of this shite. Blech.

Pours slightly foggy and sparkling golden with a two finger white head. Nose is decent, with some grain sweetness and light bitterness. The flavor is refreshing and light with the same sweetness and a subtle bitter finish.

Typically generic and poor tasting American wheat beer. Light golden pour, bland taste of wheat with a light bit of banana and orange. Very thin mouthfeel.

Poured out a big bright white cap with good retention and some slippery ropy lacing and some thick metemusil coloured beer...a bit too dark - it’s very orange. The aroma is very weak early on but it does come out: wheat, maybe a very weak banana / chocolate mix, orange that is not citrusy, almond?. You really gotta try to find those. The taste is ok: more wheat, soft, nut?, citrus, too sour and along with that sourness is where the bitterness shows up... er... is there more? I do like how this is not a banana bomb but it’s on the bland side. A good choice if you want a very soft American Wheat. The mouthfeel is so-so, so is the carbonation. There is an ok softness. Finishes dry with biscuit and a very slight spice. A pleasant non-offending beer that does not excite me one bit. 17$ for 6 too. Good luck selling those off quickly.

Bottled. Poured hazy medium orange with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma was sweet with honey and pale malts accented by orange zest. The flavor was sweet as well with honey and redder fruits at the core.. orange zest and mildly tangy wheat surrounded.. sweet finish with a light grainy texture. Lighter-bodied and too sweet on the palate.. came across as dumbed-down and extremely accessible.

Bottle. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Light cloudy yellow golden color. Aroma of mild yeast, wheat, fruit, citrus. Light bodied with a soft carbonation. Light sweet flavor with a hint of acidic. Light sweet fruity and citrus like finish.
