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 slightly turbid gold with a big, creamy, white head. Aroma of malt, yeast, citrus, hops. Tastes malty, with citrus, some yeast/hops at mid-palate, and finishing chardonnay and slight banana. Slightly dry finish, with a medium to light palate.

On Tap @ Pyramid- Pours a hazy yellow color, small white head. Aroma of bananas cloves, other spices. Flavor is sweet and malty, not a whole lot of charachter.

Draft at Anthony’s in Bellingham, WA and from the bottle in the same week. The draf tof course was much better. Orange and cloudy but the bottle poured clear. Nice thick and creamy off-white head from both. Decent Hef.

Never tried a Pyramid of any type before. Picked up a sixpack of Hefe. Looked clear in the bottle, but poured a very nice cloudy gold. Yeasty aroma. Pleasant tasting - reminded me a bit of Bell’s Oberon ale. Would never be able to pick this one in a blind taste test, but would drink it again. I liked the price and it was a very decent tasting hefe. Nowhere near the ultimate German Hefe’s however.

Cloudy orange color with a bright white head. A lot of sediment in the bottle--as it should be. Fruity, yeasty aroma; nice and strong. Flavor is a little hoppy with fruit more in the background. A little more bitter than I prefer for a hefe.

Pours a very cloudy gold with hints of orange and a very thin white head. The beer was served with a wedge of lemon (and the bar had all sorts of propaganda about why the lemon makes it better). I didn’t particularly care for the lemon. The aroma was overly strong with lemon zest thanks to the big wedge on the glass. Just vaguely perceptible beyond the lemon were aromas of spice (nutmeg and coriander) and fruit (citrus and banana). The flavor started off with too much lemon - nearly masking the actual flavor of the beer. But through the lemon the flavor of a decent hefeweizen was found. Wheaty -almost chewy- with lots of characteristic spice and fruit. The finish was dry and crisp. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated but creamy and medium in body - pleasing. This beer would have definitely scored better w/out the lemon (probably ~3.5).
