Pyramid Hefeweizen
May 29, 2006 – 9:29 pm
For the most recent issue of the Carnival of Drinking I decided to write about the Pyramid Hefeweizen. The theme for this issue is “drinks that you like to serve at the barbecues, grill outs, picnics or what not that you’ll be attending this Memorial Day weekend, or in the summer months in general”, and I figured the light and refreshing Pyramid would be a good choice for me.
I have had the Pyramid plenty of times, and I have enjoyed it every one of those times. The color is a very dark yellow, darker than the other hefeweizens I’ve tried. It has a very healthy, foamy thick white head which quickly vanishes into a thin ring around the glass. Compared to other beers of this style, the aroma and taste are more grainy and the citrus notes, while present, are weaker.
The Pyramid seems to always be a crowd pleaser at my apartment, and because I enjoy having the occasional glass myself, my girlfriend and I keep a healthy stock around. In the summer months, they will be even nicer, as it’s a very light, refreshing beer that pairs well with most barbecued foods.
If you’ve liked other hefeweizens you’ve tried and you haven’t had the Pyramid, give it a shot. If you like your hefeweizens nice and citrusy, this may not be the one for you.
