Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Very strange beer. No need to add an oragne, it already tastes like fruity pebbles. To some people, thats great, to me, not so great, but i do have to say its very unique.

Hazy, golden appearance with a small white head and sparce lacing. Interesting aroma of orange peel, coriander, assorted berries and pine needles. Taste was initially spicy but quickly turned fruity and artificially sweet; much like a soft drink (do they still make Orangina?).

Cloudy yellow body, thin white head, carbonation present. Aroma was mildly citrus with a nice orange quality, some wheat like notes took the edge off of the orange. Flavor was sweeter then i would have liked almost like a fruit beer. Fruity flavors blocked any spice notes. Really refreshing and crisp body.

Light in the mouth, light in taste and aroma. Some citrus wheat, some orange, some spice. Just not remarkable.

Bottle; pours hazy light orange. Nose of curaçao, candied orange, wheat, yeast and a lot of coriander. Decent smell, but too much on the palate. Too floral, spicy, and sweet. Not a fan.

actually not too bad of a beer. had it on tap at fat jacks. some heavy wheat flavor with some orange and tangerine with some lemon and banana as well. not too bad. smooth too.

Bottle thanks to milkmandan: We poured this to a chorus of "wow that looks just like a Northwoods sunset....smells just a like a Northwoods sunset....wow even tastes like a Northwoods sunset". Just like in description, we were left speechless, well at least after the obvious Northwoods sunset comments. But if you’ve had it then you know how spot on that beer hits "Northwoods sunset". Ok now for the actual rating. Pale yellow, slightly cloudy body, with a medium white head. The aroma is a nice spicy floral hops, chamomile, and cilantro scent (I know, I could have just said Northwoods sunset but I’m breaking it down into pieces here). Taste is chamomile, lavender, tea, lemon zest, and somewhere in the background, much like a band groupie with a backstage VIP pass, yes, you know what I’m going to say here, a Northwoods sunset. Light bodied, medium carbonated, crisp. Overall it tastes just like a Northwoods sunset, not medicine.

Hazy gold with small head and little lacing. Nice nose of citrus (lime, pear, apple, and oranges) and flower notes. Taste pops with the afore mentioned fruits, along with some corriander. Seems a bit over the top, but I have to admit I really enjoyed it...it’s Houston and already knocking at 90, so maybe that’s why it was so good while cooking some grilled tenderloin. And yes, I get the Fruity Pebbles flavor as well.
