Commercial Description:
If you've ever experienced a Northwoods sunset, you know it's a moment unlike any other. So instead of putting it into words, we captured the Northwoods' finest moment in every batch of our all-new Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat. Brewed with malted wheat, Cluster hops and natural coriander, Sunset Wheat has a soothing taste that will leave you speechless. It's like your very own sunset in a bottle.

I was immediately struck by a similarity to Flintstones vitamins. It was so intense I exclaimed. This beer was really atrocious. On the up side, it didn’t linger very long on the palate. This is a drain pour.

This was enjoyed at Holden Beach at Four Winds. Justin purchased the beer for all to enjoy. It has a unque flavor that I liked. I think the malted wheat is what I liked. The coriander was the unique flavor. The beach sunsets were great with my Sunset Wheat. The beer pored a gold orange with amodest head. This is better beer than I expected. I hear the brothers on Steve Zabane in the morning and now I can relate the discussions.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden-amber with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, sweet fruit, and a hint of citrus. Flavor is that of Fruity Pebbles, wheat, and a hint of lemon. As much as I didn’t think I would care for this beer, I was pleasantly surprised. It was very tasty and hit the spot on a hot sunny afternoon. Better than Blue Moon for sure....

Fruity flavor similar to Fruit Loops. A smooth beer good for casual drinking. One of my favorite beers out there.

According to the Commercial Description, this beer is brewed with "malted wheat, Cluster hops and natural coriander." According to the picture there seem to be some oranges involved. According to my taste buds, there is a bunch of sugar and fruit in here. Maybe Fruit Loops and blueberries? WTF?

Fruit Loops beer is not for me. There is too much fruity sweetness that makes me cringe and not want anymore. Makes me question if its even beer I’m drinking.

Bottle at home thanks to the bopsses. Alround rating: Big serbert character, lemon and orange spitzery over carb hard to drink. Ended up throwing half of it away. No beer character.

I will say that I have enjoyed this in the past on tap in Northern Wisconsin. This however, before I found good beers. I will say that although the aroma is lacking, the coriander adds a nice touch to the beer. However, after a while it tastes pretty much like liquid Froot Loops...

Possibly my choice of the domestic wheat beers. Its a okay beer to grab at a happy hour or something.
