Commercial Description:
An American style light bodied wheat ale that is refreshingly flavorful. Crystal wheat ale was inspired by Pyramid’s first beer in 1984 the wheaten ale, which was the first year round wheat beer brewed in America since prohibition

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is raisin and wheat. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt with raisin and banana. Not too much going on with this wheat ale from Pyramid.

11.17.08 Bottle. Pours clear yellow, thin white head. Aroma is faint malt and fruit. Flavor is malty, fruity, slighty hoppy, bubbly, or maybe I just notice the bubbles given the flavor. It’s on the girly side. Not awful. Pretty watery and light, but maybe this would be good for someone who likes diet-light flavored beers.

(bottle): Pours a clear dark yellow body. Big foamy head, off-white and diminishing. Malty and effervescent aroma. Sweet smelling with some light fruit like apple or pear. Some maltiness present too. Light fruity taste, light body. Nutty aftertaste. Tasty and aromatic.

Bottle from BevMo. Clear golden color upon pouring. Slightly sweet grainy aroma. Smells like your average American Wheat. Tastes like a million other wheat ales. Grainy with a little bit of spiciness. Drinkable, but uninspired.

Very weak. Pale yellow hazy color. Nose is grass corn and slight citrus. Taste is sugar, adjuncts, and stale wheat. Goes down easy because the mouthfeel is watery.
