OSLO (825), Perth, Australia Jul 19, 2009 [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. ben4321 (952), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jul 15, 2009 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. BrianHagmeier (257), Coralville, Iowa, USA Jul 13, 2009 Not bad, a nice refreshing summer beer. I wouldn’t mind getting drunk on these. Its nice and light and would puke up easily. Onslow (174), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Jul 11, 2009 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. DarkSong (101), Dacula, Georgia, USA Jul 10, 2009 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. KajII (43), Macon, North Carolina, USA Jul 9, 2009 Bottle, This beer poured a cloudy amber color with a small head. Its aroma was that of wheat and citris with the taste being the same. Nice summertime brew but not the best wheat beer I have had. Foxbush (452), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 1, 2009 This was enjoyed at Holden Beach at Four Winds. Justin purchased the beer for all to enjoy. It has a unque flavor that I liked. I think the malted wheat is what I liked. The coriander was the unique flavor. The beach sunsets were great with my Sunset Wheat. The beer pored a gold orange with amodest head. This is better beer than I expected. I hear the brothers on Steve Zabane in the morning and now I can relate the discussions.
