Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

This beer is truly a God sent. It has a flavour unlike any other wheat beer. Much better overall flavor, aroma, and palate then any other in its class, especially the crappy Colorado sunset wheat. Some of the flavor has to do with the great artesian spring water that comes from Wisconsin’s pure springs. (Wisconsin rated #1 in the country last year for the purest spring water in America). I, being a Wisconsin native, have turned many people on to this beer here in Nevada. I suggest you’s try Leininkugel’s Northwoods Lager!

On tap at Buffalo Wild Wings in Chattanooga. Thick and cloudy golden pour. Thin white head. Typical citrus aroma and a faint trace of Lucky Charms in the nose and flavor. Crisp lemony flavor smacks you right in the mouth. Light cereal grains, and subtle spice. No distinct trace of bitterness. Being unfiltered leads to a decent thickness and feel. Very refreshing.

Aroma is citrus, flowers and almost sweet. Pours hazy and golden as a wheat should. Thick, white head diminishes quickly. Fair lacing. First taste is heavily orange with an undertone of wheat and mildly roasted barley. Finish is cleanser-like and dry. Difficult to find a pronounced taste of hops and wheat or barley. Light to medium bodied with a short, bitter aftertaste.

Nice appearance and aroma from the start but the fruity coriander flavor is just too much for me. I would not want to sit down to more than a few of these. Not saying I couldn’t but there are better wheat beers here in CO.

if you dont like the fruity pebbles you dont know your dick from your head! this shit tastes like a bowl of heaven! i pour it in my cereal everyday, no joke! you need to drink this stuff while you eat a bowl of fruity pebbles!

On tap: Pours yellow with a thick head. Aroma and flavor is too fruity. About middle of the road for wheat ales. Not great.

Bottle. Pours an orange golden color and has a large off-white head that slowly fades. Aroma is of orange or fruit. Taste is of wheat, orange, lemon and is kind of sweet. Is a really smooth, clean, crisp and refreshing beer, but the body is kind of light. Overall, this is a pretty excellent brew as it is rather tasty and easy to drink. I could see cruising through these on a hot summer day.

Pint from Miller’s Ale House - East Boca Raton, FL. Pours a dull, cloudy yellow with a short white head. The foam does not linger long. Very fruity on the nose with raspberry dominating over citrus. A touch of hops balances this wheat brew out and, I have to admit, I was looking forward to the taste. On the palate, the wheat pokes through with the raspberry, again dominating. Hints of lemon, the mild hops, medium-light body, and 4.9% ABV make this a great summer day beer. If you like the mildly fruity stuff, you could even call it a session brew. Fantastic for what it is. Didn’t expect so much fruitiness, but was pleasantly surprised. Spring training, South Florida in the sun, bring some Sunset Wheat.
