Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Not a very good wheat beer at all, hazy straw color, minimal head with not a lot of lacing around the glass, nose of lemon & freshly cut crabgrass, thin flavors & body, almost a zesty-type of flavor profile, overly carbonated, too much fruit flavors, too much lemon & lime notes, maybe a little too heavy on the coriander as well, just too spicy to be a good wheat beer, fizzy mouthfeel & finish, a true disappointment

Unfiltered yellow with large quickly diminishing head. Aroma of lemon, yeast and a little corn. Taste is very lemony, a little over carbonated with a tart lemony finish. A little dry, buy an ok beer.

You can almost see through it just a little hazy like a wheat beer should be. Artificially strong aroma. Blandish taste where the flavor does not quite come through. Light fruit taste also.

Amazing I’ve never rated this before... after realizing this I had to pour the remains of 12 empty bottles into a glass to gather about 1/3 ounce for rating! Pours an unclear yellow with a bubbly white head. Strong sweet cereal aroma, fruity pebbles, blueberry, super sweet. Flavor follows exactly, super sweet cereal, fruity pebbles, sort of blueberryish. Probably the most similar beer to Blue Moon.

What a great aroma! It makes a great lead in to this beer. It was also the best thing to be found here, not that this was a bad beer. It was extremely crisp and clean and had a nice feel to it. Several have mentioned Fruit Loops and that has some truth to it. There are also spices and coriander. Leinenkugels is one of my favorite brewers and I have yet to be disappointed by one of their products.

Pale golden colour with a white head. The nose is very nice and perfumey with hints of citrus, spice and peach. The body was a little thin, some wheaty hints with a little bit of basil and mint in the finish. A nice refresher from this brewery I think.

Updated: I have learned my lesson, fruit is ok in beer....this one wasn’t half bad.....was a tasty beer......not bad at all. I did not care for this mainly because of the obvious fruit addition, but I did try it. It has a nice malt flavor but over powered by too much orange. Nice looking color and a ok head. Just not into beers with added fruit flavor, I preffer to let the yeast do that. Still yet, it was a decient beer for what it was meant to be...I try to be fair.

12 oz bottle. Foggy pale brown with a pocked white head. Nose is orange popsicle and mild wheat. Crisp carb with some wheaty smoothness. Taste like the nose; orange candy, slightly dry with a touch of residual bitterness. Pleasant and drinkable.
