Commercial Description:
If you've ever experienced a Northwoods sunset, you know it's a moment unlike any other. So instead of putting it into words, we captured the Northwoods' finest moment in every batch of our all-new Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat. Brewed with malted wheat, Cluster hops and natural coriander, Sunset Wheat has a soothing taste that will leave you speechless. It's like your very own sunset in a bottle.

Bottle: Light easy drinking beer. Nice natural orange flavor to the beer. Like having a Blue Moon without the wedge. Overall enjoyable.

Brewed in the USA !!! (KSBF) Pours a hazy yellow color with a dissipating white head. Aroma is of fruits (citrus)with a malted wheat taste. Not bad, average wheat beer.

Not very palatable. I wasn’t a fan of the weird wheaty-&-Fruity-Pebbles combination. I’d rather go with a Blue Moon.

Draught, Mellow Mushroom. Clouded muddy brown-yellow sewage color. No head but does leave some lace. Super fruity aroma. Apricot, lime soda, and blueberry. Spritzy mouthfeel is decent, slightly sticky. Very sweet. Clean Lots of fruit in the body like a fruit cocktail, sweetened from the can. Drenched peaches, pears, apricot. Enough blueberry to make me wonder if the tap had been used previously for a blueberry beer, which they do have here so it is possible. Clean grain finish.

Opaque tan. Spicy, brash nose - not refined but full of spice, orange. Creamy with orange and pear. Sweet and sour, like a candy. Quenching, wheat note in the finish.

Wonderful Golden Color slightly cloudly. Hits on orange peel strike the nose but not too strong. Has a nice mellow taste with hits on fruit notes and wheat. On of the most drinkable beers I’ve had to date. I can see myself buying this more and more

Pours hazy yellow with pillowy white head. Crisp taste with citrus aroma. Notes of blueberry, makes this stand out from other summer ales.
