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.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow color with a small white head that fades quickly. The aroma is strong, sweet and fruity - lemon and orange. The flavor is strong, tart, and has a tangy artificial grape and orange flavor that is pretty pleasant. The finish is a bit dry and grainy. Nice.

Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat 12 oz bottle Recent bottling, sipped on 07/30 Medium pour in a tulip glass Poured a cloudy golden outer edge with a denser orange copper middle with a disappointingly fast dissapating 1/4 inch head. Smelt of candied oranges, like orange gummi bears. Taste a pleasant ascent into candied oranges, reminescent of orange gummy candy, followed by a hint of spicy flowery wheat and settling into a short sourness. A bit short and timid though. Mouthfell was light and effervescent. Overall, a surprisingly tasty refrehing summer wheat lacking only complexity and length.

Great and refreshing summer beer. This beer is golden in color with a medium head. Citrus aroma, and tastes kind of like liquid fuity pebbles. Goes down smooth and great with a lemon or an orange. I never thought drinking fruity pebbles would taste so good.

tastes like Blue Moon, but much better, and less fruity, the coriander adds a relaxing undertone
