Dec 21, 2008 Updated: Sep 12, 2009Can on NW 795 to Tokyo: maybe it was just the environment, but certainly the most I ever enjoyed a beer on a plane. Yeah, too sweet and too many additives, but refreshing and flavorful, and not bad at all.
First rating 2008: 5/3/5/3/8: Murky orange/brown color. Spicy, orange aroma with what malt, coriander, ginger, babana. Big nose, not natural though. Sweet, spicy, fruity flavor with ginger and all kinds of spices. Way overboard on the spices and additives. Palate light and spritzy. Drinkable, probably good in the heat, but way too much junk in it.

Dec 20, 2008 Odd citrus flavor. Light and mild. The yeast taste is only on the finish and overly mild. Has an orange soda taste to it, and soda like fizzyness. Good as alcohol soda, but not really as beer.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle. I thought I was buying a wheat beer, I was unaware that it was spiced and fruited. Its descent for a beer violating the German purity laws but that isnt saying much. My fiance likes it though.

Dec 11, 2008 Bottle, thanks argo0. Cloudy orange appearance, with a small white head. Strong orange/lemon aroma with coriander and cereal. Flavor is a good bit less fruity, but also very thin. Cereal still lingers in aftertaste. Flavor is disappointing but the aroma wasnt really all that bad.

Dec 7, 2008 Very good beer with a great flavor hints of coriander and wheat can be combined with the aftertaste of oranges overall this is an excellent beer

Dec 4, 2008 Another entry into Leinenkugels chick beer marketing scheme
Artificial all the way through nothing seems to be balanced at all here Way too fruity Most people say it tastes like fruity pebbles and I agree Virtually no balancing bitterness Smells very similar to how it tastes
It pours a cloudy slight orange with a somewhat fluffy head
This does very little justice to a Northwoods sunset

Nov 28, 2008 12 ounce bottle: it poured awesome! Golden honey colored with a medium head. Tast is very citrisy; in fact, way to over bearing. A definite beer for the long days of Summer.

Nov 27, 2008 12 ounce bottle purchased at Target for $1.00 Not the best wheat ale, too perfumed!
