opaque light orange, fine white head, streaks of drippy lace, light sweet fruity aroma, creamy yet carbonate body, lots of sweet orange flavor, character is kept light by the wheat, carbonic bite and sweet orange makes this an orange soda and gets a good score only because I like orange cream sodas,

Plastic cup at the MN State Fair. Pretty nose: wheat, orange and some spice. Very refreshing flavor. Slightly sweet with some wheat and lemon accents. Body was on the light side, but by no means watery. Honestly tastes like drinking carbonated Fruity Pebbles.

It looks like a good wheat beer(apperances can be decieving) but that’s about it. For the life of me I cannot figure out why Leinenkugels’ continues to make this stuff. I haven’t met ANYBODY who actually likes it. Ugggh. It is just vile. If somebody offers you one just take the drink chip instead and buy something good later.

This wheat beer pours a medium orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is orange and apricots, some malts and floral, perhaps some blueberry. A light to medium bodied wheat beer. Malts are very fruity and sweet, lots of orange, apricots, berries and coriander. Hops are floral. Lively carbonation. Some lemongrass character here as well. Very thirst quenching. Clean and crisp. Nice summer beer, drink half a six pack on the front porch on a warm Tuesday Night. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is sweet.

One of the worst wheat beers that I ever tried. Very sweet taste with no character.

This beer pours a cloudy golden tint and has a small to medium head that disapears quickly. Has a lemon citrus flavor and also had a oily dish soap feel. Kind of made me sick after drinking a few at a party.

Draught. Pours a pale yellow hazy colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, FRUITY PEBBLES GALORE! Reminds me of my childhood. Citrus, wheat and hops also linger. Initial taste is fruity, citrus, very candy like. Finishes crisp and mild hops. Good Head retention. Interesting one for sure.
