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.

One of the worst wheat beers that I ever tried. Very sweet taste with no character.

From bottle. Pours cloudy gold. No head or lacing. Wheat nose with some fruit. Lot of carbonation for the style. More fruit than spice in the taste. Nice finish. Not something I’d drink a lot of, but an interesting take on the often boring wheat ale.

This beer has a fruity smell and a weak palate. The taste is like stale trix cereal and water. Very forgettable.

Unique beer, tastes like fruity pebbles. Used to like it a good bit many years ago when I started drinking craft beer, but it’s a little much for me now. That being said it has a lot of orange zest and fruity favors with a nice little wheat finish. Not a bad creation just not too interested in really drinking too much.

womencantsail (6896) - Garbage Grove, California, USA - MAR 25, 2013
Hazed golden pour with a white head. Intensely fruity and sweet on the nose. Mild spice, some lemon tartness, and a good amount of orange. Some sweet malt/bread, too. The flavor isn’t bad, just very, very sweet. Citrus sweetness, light lemon zest, hints of spice, and a decent amount of bread and wheat.

Bottle. Big fruity citrus and wheat aroma. Cloudy straw gold with a small white head, nice lacing. Citrusy mixed fruit flavor -- lemon, lime, berry -- and coriander flavor. Medium body and carbonation. One of the best from Leinenkugels I’ve had to date.

The Leinenhugel's Sunset Wheat has a mild blueberry taste. Color is light amber. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12oz bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a finger width of white head. Aroma is wheaty with distinct citrus notes. Taste is the same. Wheat and citrus.

One of the first craft beers I had. Nice balanced flavor with a little wheat kick very subtle

EtTuCthulhu (396) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAR 6, 2013
This beer is a cloudy pale golden color with nearly no head, and the aroma is of licorice, dough, and coriander. The taste is quite sweet, somehow emulating Fruity Pebbles, and the palate combines a medium body, lively carbonation, slick texture, and abrupt finish for a very drinkable beer.

Pale gold color. Half inch head fades quickly. Sweet citrus aroma. Someone said it best, tastes like Fruit Loops. But Ilike fruit loops lol.
