Pyramid Hefeweizen:
Hello young and old and welcome to another beer review for the masses.  Today we look at that summer beer staple- the hefeweizen and this time, it’s Pyramid’s turn to tackle the brew.  I think I’ve spent enough time and reviews going over just exactly what is a hefeweizens and how it is an unfiltered wheat beer that can emit a nose ranging from lemons to wheat to hops and malts to the taste that is usually citrus filled but is also very thick feeling and can be heavy despite their summer appeal.  Pyramid’s take on the brew is not much different than those who have attempted it before, though Pyramid does have more a of a spice note to the nose and taste of the beer and an over abundance of carbonation to the beer give it a champagne like feel on the tongue.  I wasn’t really that impressed with the beer, it was good but nothing about it makes it memorable and that is bad thing.  In a the world of beer you need to set yourself apart somehow and if you looking to join the ranks of the hefeweizens crowds, you need to make sure your not just following the heard through the fields; relying on your label appearance and name can only take you so far in a lot of beer connoisseurs and this is maybe an example of that.  I probably won’t go looking for this beer again on my own though I won’t turn it down if it’s ever offered to me.
