Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Nose of orange and mild cluster hops. It’s a nice looking beer in the glass, most wheat’s are. Wow flavor is where this beer shines. I was pleasently supprised, my palate finds most American wheat beers a bit boring. This beer is brutish with flavor, as it warms the orange really comes out, giving it a fruit cereal appeal (don’t let this scare ya, I hate fruittie pebbles/fruit loops but this stuff is good). At cooler temperatures the flavor is a bit more subdued and balanced with coriander and just a bit of hop coming through in the flavor profile. Of course it should go without saying there was a nice wheat flavor with an underlying light malt flavor. Not a chewey beer in the mouth, but not watery either. Has a nice high carbonation level that works well with the flavor for a lively mouthfeel. Overall a very spicey beer. Just a wonderful suprise. I had avoided buying this one for a while, wish I hadn’t!

a very citrus beer smells and tastes of oranges with a little spice. pours a light gold very cloudy like most wheats has a very little head.

Okay first before I tried this beer my associates told me that it has a fruit loop finish. I didn’t believe them. A nice golden color with a wheaty fruity nose. The taste is slightly bitter with orange and wheat in flavor. Surprisingly the finish did come with a fruit loop finish. I didn’t believe myself so I had my wife try, she, too said it had that finish.

pours with a nice head and sweet citrus aroma. very drinkable refreshing beer. orange and coriander flavors very noticeable. my only real critique is that it almost borders on juice which takes away a little from its identity as a beer. But I do love OJ

Pretty modest taste, aroma of coriander and citrus initially. Neutral, no banana or cloves. Good for summer.

This beer is fantastic. Probably my favorite wheat beer. Compared to blue moon but much better. Has a citrus taste, but not overbearing. I could drink this everyday of the week.

Bottle poured into shaker. Hazy orange colour with a thin white head. Aroma was painfully fruity, almost perfume. Flavour was chemically citrus, not the traditional citrus of better wheat ales.

One of my favorite wheat beers. The Fruity Pebbles taste is is strong, but it does not taste like a traditional "fruit" beer.
