very hazy gold with a large head. aroma of lemon, grain, blueberries, and fruit loops. surprisingly pleasant aroma. flavor is sugary with fruit loops, lemon, blueberry, coriander. it could use some more carbonation, its a little flat. turns extremely cloying after the first one. way too sweet, but one was nice.

Holy lemonheads batman! Big lemon lime candy nose on this one! Also,a spicy, doughy lemon pie, and even a blueberry muffin, note. Not much up front, rather it fades quickly into a moderate bitter hop finish, but a lingering spicy coriander manages to surfaces after the hop finish. Still, lemon candy throughout. Weird. Resamples features a weird blueberry note that when mixed with the lemon, it smells and tastes like fruity pebbles. Pretty awful.

Pours hazy yellow with pillowy white head that goes away quickly. Aroma is strong lemony citrus - slight wheat under it, but the citrus is strong. This doesn’t even taste like beer - lots of citrus upfront, mainly lemon, but some orange aspects as well. Finish has the citrus and a bit of a blueberry taste. Not what I was expecting at all. Further down the glass a bit of spice becomes apparent on the finish. Very crisp and refeshing - great summer beer.

bottle - Pours cloudy orange with a thin head. This one has a very assertive citrus aroma. The carbonation is light and the body medium, combining for a pleasant mouthfeel. The flavor is sweet with strong citrus notes and tastey spices. Sunset Wheat is an interesting and refreshing wheat beer. I enjoyed it.

From the beer store in Moon, nice place. Slightly cloudy poor that is not sunset red. Appeares lively but just the opposite when it hits your tongue. Could not detect any fruity roma or flavor. As good as beer twice it’s price. Just a very slight bitter finish then at the very end......a tiny eeny hint of oranges.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that fades quickly. The aroma is strong, sweet and fruity - lemon and orange. The flavor is strong, tart, and has a tangy artificial grape and orange flavor that is pretty pleasant. The finish is a bit dry and grainy. Nice.

According to the Commercial Description, this beer is brewed with "malted wheat, Cluster hops and natural coriander." According to the picture there seem to be some oranges involved. According to my taste buds, there is a bunch of sugar and fruit in here. Maybe Fruit Loops and blueberries? WTF?
