Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

12 oz bottle: Pours a pale creamsicle color with a foamy white head. Aroma of orange push-pops I used to get from the ice cream man. Flavor is a slight orange tone with a minimal wheat texture. A very light spice note gives this brew a more rounded flavor. I can agree that this is very similar to a orange pop, creamsicle, or push-up ice cream than a beer. Leinenkugel makes some of their beer more sweet and sugary than is tolerable. Palate is sweet and slightly spicy. Overall, As an American wheat this won’t blow you away. It’s decent from Leinenkugel but that’s not saying much. Average!

Pours from 12 oz bottle a hazed, tawny yellow w/ a medium sized, spattered froth. Head fades fast leaving a full ring residual lace and a dusty canopy. Aroma is bright w/ fresh citrus. Light nectar w/ ample mellow residual effers. Flavour is moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short duration. Palate is light bodied and watery flat. Good looking and refreshing wheat beer but way too fruity. Great for hot summer days and perhaps lawn duty. Overall, not too bad, but not my style of beer.

Bottle, pours a orangy gold, some citrus fragrances with the malt, taste is ok but there is a pop (soda) taste to this beer, that an additive or adjunct? it is a nice thirst quincher.

Pours light cloudy yellow with a citrusy smell. The flavor has an orange spice with lunchmeat flavor. Lasting citus flavor. Actually this is pretty refreshing when you concentrate on the citrus, but nasty if you pickup on the lunchmeat spiciness.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy gold and even with an aggressive pour it was hard to get much of a head on this one. What was there was small, foamy and white. Strong lemon and raspberry notes in the nose. Some musty yeast and a touch of wheat are there too. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel. Very fruity on the palate with a mix of citrus and berry. Some lemon, lime, orange, raspberry, star fruit, and maybe a bit of pineapple. The wheat aspect definitely takes a back seat. My girlfriend aptly described it as "fruity pebbles". Medium-long finish with lots of fruit hanging around. Just a little too fruity for my taste.

Poured an orangy yellow color with a white head. Has hints of coriander, citrus fruits, and some hops. The flavor was of citrus fruits, spice, and some wheat flavor. It is a thin bodied beer, but smooth finishing and refreshing.

12 oz. bottle with cousin Em. Pours a nice golden color with a thick head that slowly disapates. Nice citrus and wheat nose. Mainly same taste, wheaty and citrusy, a bit of malt touch and even some "hefe" like banana and clove yeasty tastes. Overall, for a macro wheat, not that bad. It’s got Blue Moon’s number for sure.

Pours a light hazy gold with a great big white head. Aroma is orange, dry cereal. Not getting any spice in the aroma. Just like the description states..... The soothing taste will leave you speechless. Ummm..............................................
