12 oz bottle in cali....this is a wheat by name only.. The aroma coincides with the name but the alikeness stops there. too too too much fruit on the back end(especially orange) and it overshadows the pop and drowns the palate. not a favorite but my girlfriend liked it

Poured from bottle. Aroma was strong floral notes, some wheaty aspects. The flavor was strong floral notes, some American wheat type character to it, followed by faint spicing, grains of paradise? Overall nothing to write home about and I didn’t want more than one for sure!

Bottle. Body-looks like an American Wheat-hazy orange yellow with a thin ring of bubbles. Nose-big coriander, anise, grains of paradise. Taste-coriander, medium acid, orange zest, fennel, sausage, unsweet grape fruit juice, heather, very citrusy, good clean yeast. A big, bold, spicy American Wheat. I can see why people would put orange slices in this to make it taste better. Easy to drink.

12 oz bottle from Cheyenne, WY; nose is citrus, and grape, along with some wheatiness; hazy urine yellow with a medium yellowish head; my snifter looks like a urine sample cup with this in it! flavor of sweeteness with light citrus and Trix cereal flavors (maybe that’s what they flavored it with, Trix contains wheat). Not a great wheat! Tastes more like some alco-pop beer for girly-men!

Aroma has a bit of berry to it. Color is a hazy yellow with light carbonation and thin head. Taste is citrusy. Starts with a light body that goes down fizzy. Finish has a strong lemon flavor with a little coiander coming though and a mild wheat taste. Its a bit funky with the strong lemon flavor.

Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a thick, foamy head that settles into a modest collar. Not many bubbles visible through the opaque haze. Moderate wheaty/citrusy aroma. 1st sip is a crisp mixture of wheat & citrus (lemon and orange) flavor with some coriander spice to give it a kick. Somewhat tingly mouthfeel. Overall, pretty good. Great after a hot day in the sun!

As with other beers from Leinenkugel, this doesn’t really taste much like beer at all. As another poster stated "The Beer For People Who Don’t Like Beer." Hops? None. Malt? Nope. Overcarbonated and with orange and coriander flavors that overpower any beer taste, this one is mediocre. However, there is nothing offensive about the taste and it goes down smooth as hell. Another girly beer from them.
