Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Hazy orange colored pour with large white head. Malty, citrusy, orange aroma with a spicy, citrus bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours hazy pale gold with creamy soft white head. Smells wheaty, citrusy, and hints of coriander. Tastes citrusy sweet at first, followed by a smooth wheaty flavor with the clove, coriander and maybe a hint of nutmeg and of ginger. Pretty good, but not as good as others in its genre.

Pale beer smells like grapefruit. Even has a very significant grapefruit flavor, almost sickly in the mouth. Had this one at work, free sample. We arent going to carry it.

Pours cloudy yellow with small white head, minimal bubbles, no lacing. Nose is coriander and raspberries. The flavor is coriander(too much of this), some crisp hops, orange juice, raspberry, and very minimal wheat character. The orange juice predominates and in fact overwhelms this beer. Rather artificial long orange finish. Thin, quite sweet, oily mouthfeel. You can really taste the orange peel especially towards the end. It’s like a wit where they used too-fresh hops and about four times the normal amount of coriander and orange peel. Still, it is fairly refreshing, and not terrible.

Aroma is spicy and fruity. Again, Fruity Pebbles isn’t far off. Pours cloudy and yellow with a minor head. Thick mouth feel with a sweet, wheat and fruit flavor. Bit of a bitter aftertaste, but not bad. Honestly, on my desk, the stuff looks gray and unpleasant, hence the low number. Otherwise, not a bad beer.

Bottle. Little yellow pour no head. Aroma is wheat, yeast and citrus. Taste is wheat, citrus and lemon. Very clean and crisp. You can drink a lot of these.

Draught. Pours a pale yellow hazy colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, FRUITY PEBBLES GALORE! Reminds me of my childhood. Citrus, wheat and hops also linger. Initial taste is fruity, citrus, very candy like. Finishes crisp and mild hops. Good Head retention. Interesting one for sure.

12 once bottle poured into a pint glass, Cloudy golden with a very thin white head, looks something like applejuice. The aroma is very strong and sweet like fruit and candy, lemony with a hint of blueberry. The taste is very sweet with notes of lemondrops and blueberries and a nice citrus bite on the tongue. The strong initial taste flattens after the first few swallows and disolves into a faint citrusy flavor. An interesting beer, suited more for summer, but where did the taste go after the initial burst? Certainly worth a try if wheat beer is your thing.
