Pyramid Breweries Hefeweizen
What the brewers say
“Pyramid Hefeweizen has long been the standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. It’s an unfiltered, smooth, and refreshing ale.”
What our panel thought
“Smells like fresh dough—yeasty, but pleasantly so. Wheat character comes through in the body with a soft spiciness that finishes dry without being watery. Very restrained bitterness on the finish highlights the malt, with minimal fermentation notes.”
What our editors thought
“Visually smart, with a perfect golden haze. Light bready nose and body trending toward the thin side, but the banana-orange notes build with additional sips—this is one to drink by the pint, not the taster.”
