Commercial Description:
If you've ever experienced a Northwoods sunset, you know it's a moment unlike any other. So instead of putting it into words, we captured the Northwoods' finest moment in every batch of our all-new Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat. Brewed with malted wheat, Cluster hops and natural coriander, Sunset Wheat has a soothing taste that will leave you speechless. It's like your very own sunset in a bottle.

Bottle and draft-Cloudy yellow color with a white head. The aroma was almost all fruits, with a touch of wheat. The taste had tons of orange, maybe too much orange.

VERY fruity. Lacks the spice and earthy depth of other american wheets, but it is very drinkable. I detected lots of banana, not as much citrus, and a lot of (surprisingly) blueberry flavour present. Anyway, another beer, another rating.

On tap. Pours a auburn color-clear with minimal white head. Aroma of orange and yeast. Well-balanaced taste of citrus, yeast, and hops. Very nice summer beer!

My God, what did they have in mind? This swill tastes like watered-down orange juice with a dash of cheap perfume. Absolutely putrid!

Highly drinkable. Cloudy, orangey white color, very pungent aroma of orange and wheat. Great flavor, too. This beer has it all.

Pours cloudy, and and straw colored. Smells of lemons, and oranges. Tastes the same. My favorite of the Blue Moon, Sunset, Spring Heat, ect "wits".

Coudy beer with a golden tinge. Aromas are orange and clove, a bit thin. However, on tasting, this beer could easily be classified in the fruit beer category. Strong orange, honey, clove and coriander gflavors. Dry, wheaty finish, but otherwise extremely sweet and somewhat cloying.

Pours a cloudy golden. Definite aroma of hops. Whoa! I hadn’t expected that overwhelming fruity flavor - like oranges or something. Creamy in the mouth but the citrus flavor was quite remarkable. A strangely likeable beer but you really have to like citrus to enjoy it.
