Pyramid Hefewiezen

I'm still at Jimmy's and it is no longer the AM, so I suppose I could have another beer. I'll have a Pyramid Hefewiezen.

Ooh, not impressed. It tastes kinda wet doggy. Or perhaps brown is a better descriptor.

It is really hard to review hefewiezens. The nose can be hard to separate from the lemon. However I would still feel justified in identifying this as one of those hefewiezens that is a little too one dimensional and has a bit of an off flavor.

This looks unfiltered, and the Pyramid website backs me up on that.

*As an aside Kasey Keller is having a great game. I love how after he makes a difficult save look routine he screams at his teammates for requiring him to make a save. I love that.*

For me this beer is overly crisp and is not really that interesting, but is better than most hefs. The body is very thin and there is no finish to speak of, which leaves us with crispness and dog as our identifying characteristics. Which isn't actually as bad as it sounds. Instead this is a pretty tolerable beer, better than most hefewiezens. However you should never, under any circumstances drink it after Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball. Trust me.

WDTB? Seattleites/Northwesterners who want a decent, readily available beer.

WSDTB? This is inoffensive, except for the dog part, and generally fine, so drink accordingly.

Rating: 7.8/10
