Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

Aroma is nice, sweet citrus, with a hint of coriander spice. The appearance was quite off-putting. Flecks pervaded this beer, including throughout the quickly diminishing head. Not average yeast sediment common with some wheats, but a thick, flaky solid floating through the beer. The flavor also is thoroughly disappointing, as a sour almost fake, plastic taste overwhelms your senses. The aftertaste just echoes the shortcomings of the precursing flavors. Palate is fine, but all the other aspects of the beer dwarf this moderate achievement. This was not a good beer, not for its style or in general. I couldn’t even finish one of them, even though I attempted to give it three different chances. The other three went into my drain. I think they were closer to bottling something else yellow rather than a sunset.

On tap at Old Chicago (Brandon, FL). Pours a hazy golden color with a one finger white, foamy head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma: Slightly fruity with notes of straw, grass, yeast, bread. Flavor: stale ripe fruit, flowers, straw, grass. Light-bodied with bitter notes on finish.

I tried this to unearth what last summer’s big news was about this beer. It looked okay in the glass and the aroma said it was a wheat beer, but the first taste started like a thin imitation. The after taste was sugary like cereal sugar and not that interesting to complete, though I did to see if it just me.

20 oz draft with orange slice. Pours hazy orange golden with a thin mostly diminishing head. Nose is citrus, lemon, some lime. Taste is similar, with a bit of pepper? could be the coriander coming through. Palate is a bit thin, but overall decent beer. Not great not bad, but it would hardly leave me speechless.

very fruity, blueberries, fruity pebbles come to mind, about as far from a traditional wheat beer as hillary clinton is to being hetro-sexual
