Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

I imagine this would be a nice summertime session beer, but having had this in January, can’t quite say for sure. I good orange flavor to it - not too overpowering. Would enjoy again.

Very pleasant American wheat ale offering. This would be the ticket on a nice summer evening, perhaps with some minor league baseball. It is a knockout with a spinach, orange, and nut salad -- not too heavy, but enough going on to keep it interesting. Pleasant and fun, not a beer to insult anyone.

pours cloudy very nice orange taste with blueberry note afterwards. i think this beer is worth a shot for any beer enthusiast.

This beer was pretty good. It had a nice look to it. Very cloudy, and yellow/orange. The palate was decent. The beer was nice and thick and had a nice wheat ale palate. It wasn’t too thick, and definitely not too thin. The only problem I have with this beer is that something tastes weird. The beer is unusually sweet. Tastes like the bar, or the brewers added some sweetner to make the beer taste better. I cannot trust the flavor. I think the flavor was nice and citrusy. In fact, this beer had a very strong taste to it. It was like drinking friggin Tropicana orange juice. I must say everything was fine except for the fact that I think they are cheating on the flavor a little bit. Otherwise, this is a good looking a smooth beer, but watch out for that suspicious taste .

(Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Pours cloudy lightly grayish yellow with a tall off-white head. Strong aroma of orange and lemon - but is it real? - it’s different than the typical citrusy wheat ale aroma. Mouthfeel smooth, lightly carbonated. Patchy lacing. Flavor is strong, almost perfumy orange blossom and lemon. Perfumy and sweet. Lingering sweet orange blossom and lemon aftertaste. Can’t decide on this one because I don’t know if the flavor is coming from the beer itself or is artificially added - I’m guessing the latter.

My mother always told me this; "If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything." So... nice weather we’re having lately, don’t you think? Should stay nice if it doesn’t rain...

Had this during the summer. Cloud golden color. Fruity, aroma with subtle wheat. Thin head. Lots of flavors, most notable fruit (blueberry) and wheat. Light-bodied and smooth finish. Good without the orange but I prefer it with. A nice change from simpler wheat beers.

In my opinion, as someone who is not a big fan of wheat ales, i think this is a great beer. INtense but not overpowering taste with a clean finish that lingers.
