Golden color......extremely hazy......opaque. Fluffy head, though it fades a bit quick......citrus-orange aroma. Sweet malt flavor up front......smooth mouthfeel. Back develops a lasting, tangy orange flavor.

With a slice of orange this is a delicious beer. Without the slice of orange I cannot drink it!

I was recommended by my favorite beer store in town to give it a try because I told them I was looking for something a little different. Well, I was not very disappointed. The aroma is sweet and wonderful. When I first take a drink, I get very strong citrus flavor, and I absolutely love it. Everything down until the aftertaste is nice. The appearance was not that spectacular, but overall, it was well worth buying a six-pack. I say if you have it in your area to try out, you should go ahead and give it a shot. I am looking forward to trying more of Leinenkugel’s beers.

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.

Some call this the Fruity Pebbles beer. If you’ve tasted it, you know why. I liked it more before hearing that but it’s still a pretty good beer.

Pours a distinct orange with foamy white head. Aroma is of a sweet orange. The flavor, however - isn’t overly sweet at all. Goes down smooth and crisp, with orange at first, and an overall "fruit loops" flavor follows. Not bad at all.

Cloudy pale-blonde with an egg-white head. Sweet, fruity, lemon aromas. Fizzy orange flavor with hints of clove blends with the fruity citrus aftertaste. Banana and doughy notes emerge as it warms as well as what tastes like artificial blueberry pancakes. Pretty refreshing and tasty even if it’s a bit sweet.
