Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen
On a recent trip to the World Market, I picked up another mixed sixer from their singles shelf. The Haywire Hefeweizen from Pyramid Breweries is a rather simple American style hefeweizen. I don't mean simple in a negative way. In fact, I really like this particular beer because of its simplicity. Lots of brewers like to set their hefeweizens apart from the pack by spicing them with various seasonings and flavors, but this one is just what it should be... simple and to the point. This beer poured with a beautiful golden color created by a combination of pale malt, malted wheat, and a very small addition of caramel malt. The head did not stick around very long or provide any lacing on the glass. At 5.2%, this beer falls into the normal range of alcohol content for a beer of this style.
For unknown reasons, Pyramid recently change the name of their original Pyramid Hefeweizen to Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen, but it's the same beer.

Pyramid Hef has always been my favorite. When I could no longer find it in the stores, I asked my liquor guy what happened to it and he told me new packaging and name “Haywire,” so I bought a case of it. YUCK!!! I’m sorry, but this stuff is aweful! Tastes like watered down original and no wheat flavor. I am so disappointed! I hope they offer or go back to the original, otherwise, it will be me and Widmer….
