Skillfully brewed with over 60% wheat malt (Bavarian tradition only calls for 50%), Pyramid's Northwest style Hefeweizen has a smooth body and a cloudy golden color. This crisp refreshing beer is unfiltered for extra flavor.

12 oz brown bottle(s) at EFoB ’08. Cloudy dark gold, amazing tight, creamy head that lasted throughout the glass. Aroma of dusty wheat with lemon. Flavour was creamy wheat malts. Light bodied, mild carbonation, pretty basic, but it went down well at the fest.

this pint poured by ayn rand loving bartender - john’s - steep recommendation. pyramid hefe pours with a riverbed sediment heavy yellowish-orange hue. visually swirling citrus notes darken as outer lights descend through the glass. aroma proclaims divine purpose of the lemon peel - bright and floral and yellow. i sip with high expectancy. the hazy citrus appearance infuses thick clouds of breakfast beverage flavor. i want to drink this beer early in the day - maybe with a coffee and eggs benedict. orangey aftertaste does not offend the initial refreshment or disturb the beer-at-six-AM fantasy. i would drink this beer in the morning before work if i could find the right job. my first - not last - pyramid offering.

A weird combination of right on target and totally average. Appearance is standard while nicely cloudy, aroma is non-existent, flavor is smooth but not excellent. Usual notes of wheat, yeast, lemon. I only drink it on tap though.

Pours a glowing orange and hay colored, with a quickly dissipating head. A taste of orange citrus, though vanishingly small. Cool and refreshing without being overly complex, would be considered a good table wine if it were a wine. But as it’s a beer, it’s only worth ordering when there’s nothing better available. Still, it’s a solid beer.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Hazy yellow colored brew. Wheaty, citric and watery. Not that good, but refreshing.

Poured a glowing straw color with medium head. Aroma is faint, wheat and thats it. Not alot of flavor, tastes like I am drinking a home brew from a kit. This beer is not a drain poor but nothing I would buy again. kinda boring and tastes like cloves.
