Commercial Description:
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.

Pours really nice and dare I say better than some German and Belgian options. Appearance would be its strongest point. Pyramid’s adaption as with most of the American wheats Ive tried lacks both the fruity nose and taste. Tastes more grassy or veggy than fruity. Its not bad by any means but not what I look for in a Hefe.

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.

Poured a hazy yellow color with minimal head. Aroma is wheat and a faint citrus note. Flavor is mildly citrus, but mainly just wheat. Not the best in its style by any means.
