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.

Really sweet crisp beer! Aroma is of blueberry and orange. Yum. A light palate. This beer would be tasty mctasterson in the summertime! On tap at the Cuckoo’s Nest in Queens!

Poured a cloudy yellow color below a thin white head. Sweet orange peel scent. Light citrus flavor with oranges and banana combined with the feel in the mouth made me think of watered down pulpy orange juice with alcohol.

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.

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.

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.

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