Typical wheat appearance with a slight haze. Definite berry undertones to the malt flavors that is reinforced by the fruit aroma. I liked this more than I expected.

Had this one bottled. Not bad. A nice golden orange pour with a very thick, white head, nose of lemons and bread, a pronounced barley taste that was unusual but very welcome. Fruit Loops in the nose and taste. Yep, Kellogs Fruit Loops. Weird, but delicious.

33 cl bottle, Fargo. Hazy orange pour, thin fizzy head. Faint bubblegum, pronounced cereal (ie. kids cereal) aroma. Citrus and fruit loops taste, very interesting, quite unique, would recommend.

A very under appreciated beer, it’s a solid wheat beer with a fair amount of orange flavor to it. However, the regrettable tendency of bartenders to add a slice of orange to it (as recommended by Leinenkugel themselves) does not help. Drink without fruit, or with a squeeze of lemon if the wheat flavoring is not to your taste. This is not a particularly good bottled beer, as those tend to taste more fruity than the version on tap. Stick with the draft and you won’t be disappointed.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Nice soft yellowish glow when held to the light. A nice citrius flavor blended with, of course, wheat. Satisfying. Similiar to Blue Moon’s Belgian White, but I like this one better.

Strong coriander punch in the mouth, overall a good wheat. Coriander is almost to strong however it fades to leave noters of pepper and licorice, very interestiing flavor. Alot of stuff going on in this beer, Kudos to Leinenkugel’s.
