Snow Cap

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Snow Cap

• Brewery: Pyramid Brewing Company (Washington)

• Style: Winter Warmer

• ABV: 7%

• IBU: 47

• Pour Color: A brownish red color to this one. Light travels thru easy.

    

       This one poured with a nice fluffy head that would last a few sips. After it went down though it didn't even leave much lacing. Nice see thru dark color to this one. The scent off the top is toffee, ginger, and caramel. You can tell that a nice hop presence is in this one too. The taste has a mix of chocolate, caramel, and toffee flavors. The spicy flavor of this one has a ginger taste to me to. The alcohol in this one is pretty straight forward in flavor to. Not a bad winter warmer.
      Winter brings out darker beers. As a hop lovin mustache this really makes me depressed. Everyone wants hearty and not enough want refreshing. This is a strange conundrum for that reason. A warmer usually is to much for me. It's spicy and thick, not really a drinking beer. This one isn't quite as bad as others. Yes the spice and alcohol have a strong taste, but the hops stand up and make it refreshing. Not a every day beer for me but not a bad seasonal for a cold day!

Hefeweizen

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Hefeweizen

• Brewery: Pyramid Brewing Co. (Washington)
  

• Style: Hefeweizen

• ABV: 5.2%

• IBU:

• Pour Color: A slightly orange color and very cloudy

      As you smell this one you get a nice wheat and yeast scent off the top. The color was a very very murky orange to gold. The head foamed up quick and was very fluffy. It fought well for a sip or two, but my follicles took it down, leaving a thin white layer for the rest of the beer. This one has a nice rich wheat flavor and body on the taste. You notice citrus tones through out the beer as you sip. A bath in this one isn't to sweet and makes for a nice smooth experience. 
      This is another really good beer from pyramid. Blending the normal tones of a Hefe but balancing it more toward the light wheat beer then super sweet orange tones. Not everything you want from a hefe but very smooth and full of flavor!

Discord

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Discord

• Brewery: Pyramid (Washington)
  

• Style: Black IPA

• ABV: 6.5%

• IBU: 69

• Pour Color: A very dark red letting through a little light

      On pour this one was quite dark, but didn't look to thick. The scent off the glass was a roasted hoppy scent. The head was nice and thick but disappeared quicker then I like. Bitter is the name of the game on this one. Slightly earthy, slightly citrus, and slightly grassy hops hit you fast and hard! The malts give a nice roasted coffee flavor to back those hops up. Good amount of textures and a good amount of body to this one. The hops are the star of this black IPA for sure though.
      Pyramid is turning out to be really good. The Outburst was great and now this Discord is gonna be sorely missed after the spring season. That's right PEOPLE AND MUSTACHES! This is a must try before it's gone. So go get one!

Outburst

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Outburst

• Brewery: Pyramid (Washington)

• Style: Imperial IPA

• ABV: 8.5%

• IBU:80

• Pour Color: A dark amber color that is see through

      Out the bottle you smell these hops. A nice mix of pine and grass scents off the glass. The color on pour was a dark amber that was easily seen through. On the first splash it's all IPA. Bitter and hoppy who wouldn't love this beer. The nice taste, of a spicy hop, to the grass and pine flavors is great. Not much malt flavor comes through but who really needs that? A really good Imperial IPA and after a taste it echos on each of the follicles.
      Starting to wish I was on the west coast getting some of these guys food too. Pyramid for a long while I didn't see on a shelf and it's reemergence has really made me happy. Hearing that theses guys have a barley wine out soon is really exciting. Great beers that hop heads and wheat heads can get excited about!

Apricot Ale

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Apricot Ale

• Brewery: Pyramid (Washington)

• Style: Unfiltered Fruit Beer

• ABV: 5.1%

• IBU:11

• Pour Color: A nice orange, very cloudy

      A nice shape and color to this bottle. Think the Face bought it because of the spring color. As soon as the bottle opens you smell the apricot. The pour was a good looking orange with light having trouble coming through. As you taste it you realize this is what it says. A strong taste of apricot almost approaching peach with the sweetness. The beer however also is unfiltered adding a nice body to the fruit beer. This one also lacks a artificial taste of the fruit that some of the apricot beers have. Honestly a nice light beer for a nice summer day. I found this one strong flavored but refreshing. 
      After a long day of digging through cob webs, and getting them stuck in these curls, this is a beer to take a bath in. Light, but full of the apricot flavor. I was really presently surprised with this beer. I know for a fact I will be getting another six pack soon.
