Not a big fan of this style but bought a 6’er anyway. Pour looks inviting....after taking a sip....whoah! Tastes like drinking the milk at the bottom of a bowl of fruit loops. Way too sugary for my taste. Ended up dumping the rest down the sink. Blue moon is much better of an offering.

Pours from 12 oz bottle a hazed, tawny yellow w/ a medium sized, spattered froth. Head fades fast leaving a full ring residual lace and a dusty canopy. Aroma is bright w/ fresh citrus. Light nectar w/ ample mellow residual effers. Flavour is moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short duration. Palate is light bodied and watery flat. Good looking and refreshing wheat beer but way too fruity. Great for hot summer days and perhaps lawn duty. Overall, not too bad, but not my style of beer.

A pretty nice tasting brew overall: pours a hazey bright golden colour with a large fluffy white head. lots of wheat aroma and flavors all the way through. citrus fruit. grapes, oranges and peach. Pretty nice for a hot summer day.

Pours hazy golden with white head. Aroma is wheats, orange and other citris. Flavor is moostly weat with citrus and a little hops. A nice smooth refreshing drink for hot day which is exactly what this beer was made for.

hazy golden appearance with solid white head. nose is of strong coriander. flavor has the esters of a wheat beer but the coriander sweetens the beer too much and is overpowering. almost undrinkable due to the sweetness

Poured into a tulip glass. Hazy unfiltered apple juice color, with an off-white head of about a finger. Quite fizzy and short-lived. No lacing. Aroma is blueberry pancake batter, with a limey twang. Flavor is faint blueberry, and there’s no real wheat influence that I can taste. The lime is more subdued in the flavor. Distinctly summery, but I don’t know if this is distinctly a witbier. Finish is exceedingly watery. If you poured tonic water into a bowl of fruity pebbles, it would taste like this beer. Mouthfeel is overcarbonated but clean. Not much body here. Easy to drink, refreshing, but boring.

aroma smells funny almost like cough syrup. average head and lacing. coriander,yeast, and oranges on the palate. bland aftertaste. not my favorite Leinenkugel product.

Very smooth brew with just the right amount of citris flavor allowing the hops and seasoning to come through too. This is a good pick for kicking back in the pool or at the lake on a hot summer day.
