Not a fan of wheat. Never really liked the aftertaste of this, however I’ve never tried it with an orange slice.....

This is my favorite Leinenkugel’s beer. Light brown with small/medium head. Kind of fruity but there’s something about it that makes me buy more. This is the beer I buy when I’m not buying the $12 six packs or $15 cases.

Bottle. Little yellow pour no head. Aroma is wheat, yeast and citrus. Taste is wheat, citrus and lemon. Very clean and crisp. You can drink a lot of these.

A golden orange color with a very citrusy smell and taste. A nice wheat beer for drinking on a hot afternoon day.

Pours a nice hazy golden, with a billowing white head. Huge aromas of straw, melon, and chamomile. Big fruity taste with a bit of astringency and a very clean finish. Medium body. Its kind of one-dimensional and I’m not sure how this hits the style, but certainly decent beer for sitting around the front porch with the compadres.

Citrusy wheat beer that I didn’t like on the first sip. Had a funky aftertaste to me at first. After that, it seemed to go down a lot smoother. Not bad but I’ve had better.
