Leinenkugels is SABMiller’s answer to Molson/Coors’s Blue Moon. Hands down the winner is Leinenkugles. Blue Moon is a tad watery compared to this. My wife just loves it. The beer in a nutshell tastes like you stuck the orange in the pint glass, let it sit for like ten minutes then took a long sip. Very nice and very relaxing, no worries kind of wheat beer.

Sep 2, 2008 I’m not really big into wheat beers....and most of the time I think its because of a strong soapy taste....and this beer is the biggest offender of all. It tastes like someone took dishwater and poured it into a bottle. Terrible taste, hard to swallow and nothing really redeeming here at all. Yechh.

Sep 1, 2008 I just broke wind (so the rating here or the beer’s aroma) might be less than good.
The appearance is mediocre, the flavor is mediocre, the palate is mediocre, the overall impression is that this is far inferior to the Berry Weiss bier by Leinenkugel’s.
Man...stinks.

Aug 28, 2008 Cloudy straw colored with a white head. Big fruity aromas - citrus more than anything else. Wheat spicyness and citrus flavors. A little too much of everthing and not enough balance.

Aug 27, 2008 Like Fruity Pebbles in a bottle...I think I may have had this on tap and liked it a little better.

does not count  Aug 25, 2008 After drinking a lot of fruity wheat beers lately, this was my first taste of a "normal" beer in a couple of months.
Though I’ve enjoyed the fruity beers, it was nice to have a "real" beer again.
It had a nice easy smell, nothing bitter.
The taste was great. After all the fruity beers of late, I expected a normal beer to taste slightly bitter, but due to the wheat, it was really smooth, almost sweet without even a hint of bitter in the aftertaste.
It felt great in the mouth. It didn’t seem highly carbonated like all the fruit beers I’ve had lately, but it was very refreshing all at the same time; giving my mouth an almost "clean" feel.
This was a beer I could have easily knocked back a few more of before calling it a night. It had a gentle sweetness, but not like the fruity beers that leave you a bit overwhelmed after just one. Each drink made you look forward to the next one.
