Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Pours with a fizzy, white head with a fruity pebbles aroma with some clove and ornange peel. Head goes away quickly, but the lacing stays for a while. Murky yellow body, not an amazing taste. Pretty dry and fizzy.

On tap at On Tap Pub. The beer is a hazy light amber/orange color with a thin off-white head. Minimal lacing throughout. The aroma is akin to Fruity Pebbles. Light-bodied and smooth with sweet fruit and spice flavors, along with a bit of wheat. The finish is sweet with a mild clove aftertaste. Not as sugary sweet as the aroma would lead you to believe but still just an average beer.

Pours hazy orange/gold with a small white head. Massive coriander and orange peel nose. Floral? Purfumy? not sure how to describe it, but potent for sure. The coriander is a bit overwhelming, when I used to help out in a brewery and used to grind coriander the smell was great, drinking that same smell is a bit to much.

Draft at Malt and Vine. This is kind of a deadly little session beer. They’re really not kidding about the oranges thing. Pours cloudy bright medium amber/orange. Dense but shallow moussy tan head. Bright citrusy, orangey nose. Creamy, ever so slightly grainy body. Nice biscuity wheaty flavors underneath a nice lightly spiced wash with sweet citrus up top. Clean, somewhat sweetish finish. This isn’t a super forceful or memorable beer but it sure would be easy to drink a bit of.

Had this from the bottle in one of the pubs in Denver during GABF. I had erroneously rated this some time ago when I had meant to rate the Berry weiss. This wasn’t too bad as a belgian-ish spin on a wheat beer. Sweeter and more simplistic (like Rickard’s White or Blue Moon), but not bad.

Not bad, has a bit of a fruit loop flavor to it, with some interesting orange ctirus rind and corriander flavors. A bit of that wheaty yeasty flavor, but that is mostly in the background and unrecognizable.

On tap at the Palms Casino. Initial aroma is that of Fruit Loops Cereal. It is really fake smelling. The appearance is the golden yellow opaqueness that is similar to Blue Moon. Flavor is more sweet fruit loops, some wheat, and some more sweetness. It was pretty full bodied, but at this point, I was so full of Coors Lights that it was pretty hard to tell. It was not bad, but it tasted artificial. It was also funny that while driving back home from LV, I realized that this is probably Millers foray into the wheat beer category, sort of like Coors and Blue Moon, and Bud and Widmer.

This was kind of odd. It looked like a wheat, but the aroma was blueberry, banana, bubblegum, and licorace. The flavor was pretty much the same, with the licorace and blueberry being more pronounced. There was very little "wheat" character. In fact, I thought it may have been a fruit beer. On tap, Barley’s, Knoxville.
