Hazy brown/orange, short white head, nice lacing. Aroma is fruity, spices - some nutmeg, which I don’t care for. Body is not very thick, but a nice amount of flavor - wheaty tang, orange juice, spices, an almost ginger bite. Not one of my favorites, but it is refreshing on a hot summer day.

12 oz. bottle that I received as a gift. Pours a cloudy gold with a large linen white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left zero lace. Aroma is sweet lemon, orange and wheat. The flavor is very similar with sweet lemon, orange, and wheat. The citrus sweetness is a bit too much, and I typically enjoy sweeter beers.

[Bottle] Pours hazy orange with a nice lingering white head. Aroma is quite sweet (a little too much at times), with a lot of spices--clove, coriander, also some banana, orange and some very faint breadiness. Taste isn’t quite as good, with light bitterness, a lot of wheat, and very light notes of fruit. Medium-light mouthfeel, somewhat dry finish that lasts quite awhile. Overall, even though the taste doesn’t live up to the aroma, it is still an ok beer. Not something that I would buy a lot of, but it is drinkable, and one of the better Leinenkugel’s products that I have had.

Overall Impression: I’m not going to apologize for liking this one. Its a nice, tasty, enjoyable summer wheat. Nice body to it, but still easy drinking. A really nice example of a style that I don’t usually find myself loving. Great for a hot summer days by the pool or the grill. I know its chic to dismiss this one, but I don’t agree, in fact, I’ve got it just below Gumballhead on my list of best wheat ales I’ve tried.

Not bad, a nice refreshing summer beer. I wouldn’t mind getting drunk on these. Its nice and light and would puke up easily.

Cloudy yellow pour from a 12 oz bottle. Aroma of wheat, yeast, berries and citrus fruit. Sweet wheaty flavor with orange and citrus in the finish. Tastes like a sweet wheat with a lot of orange and lemon tossed in. OK but I prefer a straight wheat, and I’ll add fresh oranges and berries if I feel fruity.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. It has a fruity berry aroma. It has a unusual fruit flavor of orange, lemon and berries to it along with a herb taste and maybe a little bit of a plum flavor. This doesn’t taste much like beer to me. I don’t like this beer much at all.
