Pyramid Hefeweizen has long been the standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. But its more than just an unfiltered, smooth and refreshing ale. It’s inspired by the purity of the wild Northwest and its pristine waters.

Clear golden, small white head. Light, malty aroma. Malty, fruity flavour without any of the typical esters. Bad hefe.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with small white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast and hops. Sweetish, malty flavour with notes of yeast and hops and subtle touches of citrus. Rough and estery afteraste. Okay but not much more than that.

Bottle. Golden color, massive white head. Aroma of subtle banana, light citrus. Taste is similar. Hi carbonation detracts from the taste.

Reviewed from notes.
This was actually poured into a pint glass several times but had it in a weizen glass for reviewing purposes and obviously for style purposes, the head did last longer which is good to Pyramid.
The appearance was a nice filtered looking yellow to orange color with the typical creamy white foamy two finger-ed head. The lacing is thick and foamy gracing the sides of the glass.
The smell had a good amount of banana with a delicate amount of cloves backing that up.
The taste was sweet and spicy through the previously mentioned flavors. There was a long lasting sweet banana flavoring in the aftertaste which lead to a long dry finish.
On the palate, it sat at/about a medium on the body with a good carbonation running about my mouth and tongue.
Overall, this fits the bill as a hefeweizen in my opinion and is quite a lovely brew to have this time of year.

Golden-orange with a small head. Has a light hefeweien quality, but not up to central European standards it is modelled on. Slightly thin but easy to drink.

Bottle from Rythmn and Booze. "The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged", so says the label. Well that’s immediately got on my nerves. This is a decent enough beer, albeit a bit thin, but pack it in with the big claims. You don’t endear yourself to anyone that way. Mind you, it was a quid. So who gives a shit?
