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.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a very hazy dark orange color with a large creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is wheat and bready malts. Very subtle clove and fruit notes. Taste is bready malts followed by subtle pear notes. Overall bland and weak. Medium bodied.

Soft German weizen smell, no esters, just a bit of skunk, bottle may be old. Pours a darker, hazy yellow than most hefes, too. Taste is rather a hybrid of German and American wheats: soft spiciness, but no clove or banana taste. Well, it’s one of Pyramid more widely sold beers, so one could expect it to be a little more broad in mass appeal. But still, it’s a very good light beer to keep around.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small off white head. Not much on the nose but faint citrus. Decent lacing on this one. The taste is a lemon malt with a sweet finish. This was a strange hefeweizen from pyramid.

Whoa! This one smells very bad. It smells like a soiled diaper and lemon cleaner. Dingy golden color with a medium white head. Tastes of an old grain silo, very grainy, soapy too. Coriander on the palate. If this beer is any indication, Germans do wheat better.

Aroma is bready/biscuity with a suspicion of lemon. Hazy orangy gold color with a white head that just filmed. Medium bodied. Definite wheat malt. Some light lemon. The banana is truly hard to find. There’s a bit of citrus sour, and the finish has enough bitter to salvage the product. A big Bavarian banane it’s not. An American wheat it is.

12 oz bottle. Hazy orange colored body with a short lasting white head. Quite light aroma with some citrus and a hint of banana. Nice flavor, well balanced mix of citrus, banana and some caramel. Some lemon and a hint of acid in aftertaste. Something between a Belgium wit and a Bavarian hefe weizen? I like it.
