Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen

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

Hazy, muddy appearance. Aroma is citrusy and yeasty. Flavor, however, was a bit weak. Front-end was somewhat sweet, with a low yeast flavor. Immediate aftertaste is just a bit sour, but mostly watery. Just an ’ok’ beer.

Golden color and citrus scent. Lemony taste.

This is a good ’burger beer’. I skipped the lemon probably because that’s how Corona tries to disguise the fact that there is no flavor. That was almost the case here, but this was a refreshing, glossy-smooth drink that tasted good ice-cold.

Light citrus nose from the cloudy golden body with a thin lacy head. Smooth, with decent balance, but lacking uniqueness. Bitter finish with some German yeast character. A mediocre brew.

Had one of these on tap at Riva (on the Wharf) while visiting the Santa Cruz boardwalk last Sunday. This brew pours a cloudy light amber. The white and foamy head doesn't last long and the lacing is light. The nose is standard dry wheat, I was on a wharf, mind you - so I struggled with the nose. The bready taste is bland but balanced. The body is light, watery and fizzy. Great for summertime, but this is one of my least favorite styles.

Not much wheat flavor. Had it on tap, and was disappointed. Bland would be the word I'm looking for here. I thought it was a little bit better out of the bottle.

Rerate Faint bubble gum, some cloves, not quite as profound as before Original 3.3 Had on tap at an Outback in Burlington, Wa. Good, solid domestic hefe. cloudy, light orange appearance. Has the patented banana, bubblegum aroma one comes to expect - flavor - similar. Has a pleasant thick mouthfeel - went down very smooth.

The looks and squeeze of lemon makes this drink. Has a nice zesty taste, and a strong finish.
