Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Coming from a guy who favors strong, hoppy beers, I didn’t think I would like this...it struck me as a frou-frou summer sipper for people who don’t ever drink craft beer when we tapped it at my bar. But I loved it. It’s very different from any other wheat beer I’d ever had. It has a taste exactly like liquid Fruity Pebbles. I swear to you. It’s got a syrupy scent of cherry, blueberry, orange, lemon, and lime, and it tastes exactly how it smells. A low alcohol content means a few before you feel anything at all. But refrain from doing the standard wheat beer thing of squeezing in an orange or lemon wedge or it comes out tasting like a weak mimosa.All in all, it’s a great session beer for sitting out on a hot muggy porch with some friends for a few hours.

I like to call this Trix beer. It tastes exactly like the Trix cereal. It’s a little weird and I can’t have more than one or two, but I’ve bought this on several occasions and everyone seems to enjoy it.

Taste like the ole Fruity Pebbles, but it is good for the ladies...and it is not bad, dont drink too much of it or sickness you will be down with.

Bottle pours a cloudy, pale orange color with a foamy white head. Decent lacing around the glass. Aroma is very sweet, lots of citrus (mostly orange) and some hints of wheat. Flavor is again mostly orange, subtle hops, with a hint of coriander. Very crisp and refreshing flavor and mouthfeel. I think this would be a great beer to have on hand for a cookout. I wouldn’t want to drink more than a few of these though as I’m more a fan of bitter beers, but a nice change of pace here.

Wisconsins attempt at a belgian wheat.....failed. Fake citrus taste leaves the mouth sad and depressed. If you want a good wheat stay away from this.

Hazy orange colored pour with large white head. Malty, citrusy, orange aroma with a spicy, citrus bitter finish. Not bad.

My wife bought me a 6-pack of this beer because it was cheap. All told it wasn’t a bad beer. The lemon in the aroma was abnormally strange which gave me the impression that it was artifical and cheap. The taste was quite refreshing but also had a certainly peculiarity at the same time. I didn’t mind this beer, and considering the price I would probably drink it again, but it definitely did not leave me ’speechless’.

Cloudy yellow, good head, high carbonation. Aroma is fruity, almost bluberry/lemon (unexpected), also with bitter backbone and finish.
