Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Cloudy orange with a thick white head. Slight spice - maybe pepper/clove aroma. Moderately dry and somewhat thin. An excellent summer beer for cooling down.

Bottle. Cloudy apricot pour. Not too much to rate in terms of nose, palate or taste. OK to drink on a humid day or if you are a little drunk.

Bottle. OK. Great summer type beer, even though had it in the fall. Reminds me of a good hefeweiss. A bit too cloudy in apperance but still has a great flavor and aroma. Would drink again. Recommend it.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy pale orange with a short fizzy head that fades away quickly. The aroma is citrus juice and corriander. Taste is wheaty up front, followed by orange peel and corriander. Finishes with mild dry bitterness. Flavor is a little too fruity.

If you don’t like fruity beer, stay away from this. However, it’s my summer deck beverage of choice. Strong floral and citrus aroma, but not overly acidic or sweet like a lambic. This is a wheat-beer, so it’s got the yeasty unfilteredness, but still goes down crisp in the hot sun.

very sweet beer, but not bad. Citrus in the nose, and very much like other wheat ales... just sweeter. Not much else to say about it.

Bottle. I tried this once before rating it, and was skewed by hearing it called the fruity pebble beer, so I waited a few days to get that idea out of my head before rating. Pours a cloudy bright yellow with a frothy head. the aroma was very fruity and sugary. Citrus. Did actually resemble fruity pebbles, but the flavor did not. Tasted citrus and berries, almost too sweet (I’m used to IPA’s). Don’t know if this is normal, but I got a definite aftertaste of black licorice. Palate was thin with high carbonation.

Pours a delicate gold to sunny orange, hazy, cloudy, but bright with lively carbonation and a rocky, frothy head that forms atop, rather large, which leaves attractive lacing in it’s wake. The aroma is fresh and fruity, with strong wheat and juicy citrus. Bubblegum, orange peel, pineapple, and a phenolic yeastiness form the customary "fruity pebble" aroma that is so often associated with this brew. (I also find that is closely resembles Hawaiin Punch...) The taste is very sweet, with no dryness or hop bitterness in sight. Nonetheless, it is full of juicy orange peel, banana, and tropical fruit, with a decent soft, oily mouthfeel and not as thin as expected. Overall, not complex, but tasty, fresh and thirst-quenching. A great outdoor summer beer for all it’s worth, (and the ideal beer for ca-brew-ing) and a decent beginner introduction to wheat beer. Solid. Best feature: Aroma
