On tap. Smell is 100% Fruity Pebbles Cereal. It is uncanny - as though it is liquid Fruity Pebbles. Cloudy golden appearance with no lastin head. Reminds me more of a Hefe than an American Wheat. Really distinctive orange flavor. Almost tastes like a candy beer. Very sweet taste

Overall Impression: I’m not going to apologize for liking this one. Its a nice, tasty, enjoyable summer wheat. Nice body to it, but still easy drinking. A really nice example of a style that I don’t usually find myself loving. Great for a hot summer days by the pool or the grill. I know its chic to dismiss this one, but I don’t agree, in fact, I’ve got it just below Gumballhead on my list of best wheat ales I’ve tried.

Ratted 6/24/06: Leinenkugel’s new offering! Bright golden yellow orange color with an extremely white head that leaves moderate lacing around the glass. Aroma is bursting with coriander and citrus hops, sweet and good. Crisp mouthfeel with a refreshing finish. The flavor is in direct relation to the wonderful aroma. Wheat based with a nice balance of citrus hops and spices. Overall this is an average witbier, nothing fancy or off the mark it is a decent representation for this style. This brewery continues to amaze me with quality beers and prices that can’t be beat.

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!

I bought a six of this while visiting my daughter at WVU for parents weekend ’06’. I had the last 2 bottles the next day at end of summer block party. Perfect summer beer. Light body with citrus and raspberry flavor. Went down fast and easy. I enjoyed them.

Pours a yellowish/orange color with a white head. Aroma is of oranges, wheat, lemon, and coriander. Flavor starts of with the lemon, orange, and coriander to begin and finishes with a wheat flavor. Pretty impressed with this brew. Not a huge wheat beer fan but did enjoy this beer.

Draft at Manny Browns in Neshanamy (sp) Mall just outside Philly, Pa. Good for the summer not when it 35(f) degrees outside. This was a little to lemony in the taste and the smell. Took away from the wheat taste.

Hazy wheat pour with a small, creamy head. Loads of lavendar, coriander, sweet orange and Fruity Pebbles in the nose. This thing must be packed with spice additions. Unfortunately the wheat malt in the body isn’t substantial enough to balance the intense spices. Out of whack and over the top with loads of flavors that come off artificial in the end. Keep the sunset on the horizon and out of the bottle Leine.
