why does everybody have to be so fancy with there beer ratings. this is a nice beer to sit on the porch in the summer and watch the sun go down its much better then blue moon which is getting way more hype and has no flavor in my opinion is the low rating because miller owns it or people at ratebeer are just interested in coffee thick beers by the ratings of the top 50

This beer is fantastic. Probably my favorite wheat beer. Compared to blue moon but much better. Has a citrus taste, but not overbearing. I could drink this everyday of the week.

In my opinion, as someone who is not a big fan of wheat ales, i think this is a great beer. INtense but not overpowering taste with a clean finish that lingers.

Very much enjoyed this beer. Blue Moon tastes like a watered down version of this Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat. You almost don’t need the Orange to get the explosion of Citrus and Coriander. Best description I heard? Fruity Pebbles. OR Blueberries...but I called the brewery, NO BLUEBERRIES!

My favorite Leinenkugel beer yet. A somewhat cloudy golden beer, with a sweetish aroma that’s almost overpowering but not quite. A fruity sort of taste behind the wheat, but nothing like the Berry Weiss because this fruit taste is much more subtle, and seems to come from the hops or the yeast instead of from some sweet fruit juice added. One of my favorite summer beers.

This is my favorite pizza beer. Really unique taste, with an orange aftertaste. Normally, I don’t like citrus in my beer, but this one works.

If you don’t like fruity beer, stay away from this. However, it’s my summer deck beverage of choice. Strong floral and citrus aroma, but not overly acidic or sweet like a lambic. This is a wheat-beer, so it’s got the yeasty unfilteredness, but still goes down crisp in the hot sun.
