Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Picked this up for my wife... Cloudy pale yellow with fizzy white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma is initially apricot, but then becomes more like blueberry. There is also some corrainder spice as well. Flavor is sweet and has a lot of orange and berry flavors with some subtle spice in the background. The finish is tangy orange, but a little thin with some alcohol peaking through. Overall this beer was quite enjoyable

Gold with a little haze and a large white head. Nose is abundant with fruity and citrus tones, just a little wheat tone in the background. Taste very sweet and orangey. Like the people before me too much citus/orange.

Had on tap at a beer tent at the recent music fest in Bethlehem, PA. Pours a cloudy amber-orange color producing a thin, small bubbled white head. Nose is fruity sweet with huge notes of orange juice, vanilla cream, crushed berries, perfume and ground wheat. Very different and unique aroma profile here for sure. Mouthfeel was smooth and refreshing but slightly thin and watery as you swallow. Taste very similar to the aromas but not as distractingly perfumey. Refreshingly sweet creamsicle, fresh squeezed orange juice, blueberry, heavy cream and some coriander and pepper come through. Finish is a bit thin and quick but a nice thirst quencher on a hot day.

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.

Bottle. Interesting enough hazy light orange color with an initially large topping. Thought the flavor was primarily orangey ... think folks who like a slice of fruit with their beer would enjoy this very much ... and even I, who usually doesn’t, found this to be a nice light drinker with a fruity twist. One of the better Leinie offerings, actually.

Cloudy orange with a white head. The aroma is sort of a sour orange and the flavor is the same. Different from anything i’ve had and I enjoyed it.

Cloudy orange pour with an initially huge fizzy head that recedes to a slight film. Aroma is huge on orange with a bit of coriander. Crazy orange flavor, almost like drinking a sunkist soda. I’m not sure if it’s really that sweet and citrusy without adding some kind of artificial flavor or not. Somewhat tart, some rasberries in there and lively carbonation. Hell, I don’t care, I like it!

Bottle. Body-looks like an American Wheat-hazy orange yellow with a thin ring of bubbles. Nose-big coriander, anise, grains of paradise. Taste-coriander, medium acid, orange zest, fennel, sausage, unsweet grape fruit juice, heather, very citrusy, good clean yeast. A big, bold, spicy American Wheat. I can see why people would put orange slices in this to make it taste better. Easy to drink.
