12oz. bottle. Pours like a hefe but with a little more peach color to it. Thin white head that leaves a little bit of lace on the glass. I had a few particulates in the glass as well, unfiltered I guess. Smells sweet with a few normal beer smells i.e. malt or hops. Smells of citrus and summer fruit. Tastes great a little bit of malt all the way through but a lot of fruit flavors. It’s like a citrus taste but with barely any acidity to it. Not quite peach flavored though. Smooth on the palate, nice carbonation and even though it’s only 4.7%abv it’s still got a little alcohol on the back of the tongue. Drink this until you get full.

Pours cloudy and golden, with a medium white layer of foam. Smells and tastes of mixed berries and cereal. This is such a delicious beer. One of my favorites.

bottled, poured nice cloudy yellow with white head, wonderful wheat/citrus aroma with ???berries???, flavor is WONDERFUL with full citrus punch to the mouth and lingering fruit (why berries?) and nice light tones of wheat that’s very refreshing, great beer...probably too fruity for some as a wheat.

This is a great warm weather beer. The flavor may be a little soft for some people, but it just goes down smoothly without being too light.

This is what I look for in a beer. Fairly strong wheat/barley aroma, accompanied by a thick white head. The flavors of wheat and malts are strongly present, yet the beer is far from overpowering. This beer goes great with a meal. The faint taste of hops comes and goes briskly with each drink. This is my first experience of Leinenkugel’s, but it won’t be my last.

Gorgeous sunset tan pint with a pleasing, full head. Telltale aromas of wheat, orange, and coriander immediately blossom in the nose. Medium-bodied with a refreshing, spritely taste of wheat and orange and coriander. Definitely in the top five percentile for the strength of the orange citrusy notes. Definitely hits the spot on a hot summer day. Deserves a much higher spot in the ratings.

Bottle poured a cloudy gold with a small lasting offfwhite head. Aromas of citrus, berry, wheat and light spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of orange, spice, light berry and wheat with a crisp lightly sweet finish.
