Notes

This beer is heavily inspired by pyradmid hefewiezen and has the same malt proportions and same bitterness level. I've re-used the same hops that I used in my American Rye Ale instead of Nuggets and Liberty as used by Pyramid. I've also started with a little bit lower gravity, but I also expect a bit higher attenuation than the 80% that Pyramid gets, so I expect the same alcohol level with a drier taste.
