2011 Day 25: Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen


Name: Haywire Hefeweizen
From: Pyramid Breweries, Washington USA
Type: American Pale Wheat Ale

One nice thing about my job is that people there like their booze, and we have happy hours pretty frequently. We had one Tuesday, so I stuck with my January trend of ordering beers I wouldn't normally try. After my success with New Glarus' Crack'd Wheat, I thought another Hefe sounded like a good idea. It wasn't. This beer smelled with a lager with a little extra yeast, and the taste wasn't much better. Not gross, but certainly not very flavorful. I wasn't very surprised to find it's not even categorized as a Hefeweizen on beeradvocate.com. I had no problem putting down my 22oz draft, but I sure didn't order a second one. This one goes on the "avoid" list.
