Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

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

Had this during the summer. Cloud golden color. Fruity, aroma with subtle wheat. Thin head. Lots of flavors, most notable fruit (blueberry) and wheat. Light-bodied and smooth finish. Good without the orange but I prefer it with. A nice change from simpler wheat beers.

A bit of a mixture in flavors between blueberry muffins and Fruity Pebbles cereal. Lots of sweetness, and certainly tasty, but not something I could drink more than one of at a time.

Poured from bottle down the middle of glass just like Leine suggests. Three fingers of head develops but quickly disappears and leaves just a thin layer floating on top. No lacing whatsoever. Pours a dark golden color and murky to the eyes. Smells of fruit (orange, lemon?) and very subtle hop. The taste delivers expected fruitiness and little to no hop bitterness. Its what your expecting, but then again it’s not. It is a beer after all, but it doesn’t taste much like it. Garnished with orange wedge.

Very enjoyable and refreshing. Poured from the bottle an opaque orange-gold with a creamy off white head. Strong sweet-citrus aroma. Carbonation seemed just right, and drank very easily. Not as light as you might expect. While there’s a strong sense of artificial and contrived, it’s really quite tasty -- and should be very good this summer next to the barbecue pit.

Coming from a guy who favors strong, hoppy beers, I didn’t think I would like this...it struck me as a frou-frou summer sipper for people who don’t ever drink craft beer when we tapped it at my bar. But I loved it. It’s very different from any other wheat beer I’d ever had. It has a taste exactly like liquid Fruity Pebbles. I swear to you. It’s got a syrupy scent of cherry, blueberry, orange, lemon, and lime, and it tastes exactly how it smells. A low alcohol content means a few before you feel anything at all. But refrain from doing the standard wheat beer thing of squeezing in an orange or lemon wedge or it comes out tasting like a weak mimosa.All in all, it’s a great session beer for sitting out on a hot muggy porch with some friends for a few hours.

Orange amber color at pour with medium head. Citrus notes overpower in the aroma, flavor has hint of citrus and hops. Blue-Moon like with a tad more flavor.

call me crazy but i have an overall positive opinion of this beer. tasts sort of like fruity pepples cereal with hints of numerous fruits including blackberries. great refreshing beer on a nice summer day.

Pale golden colour with a white head. The nose is very nice and perfumey with hints of citrus, spice and peach. The body was a little thin, some wheaty hints with a little bit of basil and mint in the finish. A nice refresher from this brewery I think.
