Pours a cloudy orange with a half-inch off-white head. Nice aroma of berries, coriander, wheat. Light, refreshing, tangy flavor: blueberries, coriander, sugary malted wheat. Medium bodied. very refreshing and enjoyable.

Bottle from State Line. This one is better than the rating. The pour is hazy gold with a big, 3-finger, fluffy white head. Aroma of champagny malt, citrus, slight floral spices and hops. Tastes citrus ruity, with bready floral malts, and some yeasty spicy clovey funky notes. Notable complexity. I will buy more of this on my next trip to State Line.

Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is orange, citrus, and wheat. The orange really stands out. Flavor is a sweet orange of a medium strength with wheat. Body is very good for the style. Very smooth with little bitterness.

Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a thick, foamy head that settles into a modest collar. Not many bubbles visible through the opaque haze. Moderate wheaty/citrusy aroma. 1st sip is a crisp mixture of wheat & citrus (lemon and orange) flavor with some coriander spice to give it a kick. Somewhat tingly mouthfeel. Overall, pretty good. Great after a hot day in the sun!

Not bad.... especially for a "Miller-micro". Effervescence of Apple Jacks on this one all around, beginning with the nose, and ending with the aromatic finish. Pours cloudy orange-straw with a sudsy head and minimal lace. The flavors have some grain and cereals, with lemony-citrus leading to a zesty, dry finish. There feels to be some yeast in the content, as well as an ever-persistent orange flavor. Honestly, whether it’s natural or artificial, I don’t know that it matters. The mouthfeel lends a summer sensation, and would make an excellent session brew. I’m glad I picked this one up. I’m more impressed than I thought I’d be.

Pours a straw color with a white head. Smells of sweet wheat, some earthy hints, peppery. Tastes of citrus and wheat with a spicy finish.

12 oz. Bottle. Surprized to find a Leine in Az. Aroma was different like fruity blueberry and lemon. Cloudy yellow body with white head. Medium balaced flavor of lemon and malty wheat. A soapy presence was there also. If you like fruity flavored beers this is worth a try.

Pours a cloudy straw gold with better than an inch of creamy white foam. Okay head retention and some decent lacing. Sweet candy-like aroma - skittlebrau? Some lemon in there too. Tasty sweet and tangy wheat - with some additional flavors of lemonhead candy behind the scenes. Initially a nicely carbonated almost medium bodied brew. The longer the beer sits, the more carbonation it loses. Experience tells me it is really good at first, then loses something as time goes on. So: tasty and drinkable in smaller fresh quantities. Odd characteristics for what should be a nice session beer.
