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.

Pours a yellow/orange color. Smells like orange liquorice and tastes like someone added orange liquorice syrup after the beer was finished. Their marketing people must be really good. Next time I would just prefer orange juice.

Its average all over, you shouldn’t have to add fruit to a beer to enhance its taste. The coriander adds the only touch as it ascends the subtle hops. Its drinkable, especially since I had at a bar at 0730 after working an all nighter in the hospital.

A nice summer beer. Has a small head but it has staying power. Good taste with a slight citrus/orange finish which I normally do not like but kinda liked in this beer. Would drink again but not one I would actually seek out.

Tap. Sampled at Orlando Ale House. Hazy golden colored and served with very little head. The aroma is fresh and I guess a little citrusy. The beer tastes very wheaty with a sharp citrusy, lemon taste that is borderline dishwater or chemicals. This beer is not very good and I doubt I’ll get it again, even on a hot day.

Fruity Pebbles in a light beer format. Aroma is nice and citrusy but the flavor of the cereal, not for my tastes.

For some reason I thought I tasted a background blueberry flavor in this beer. It is an okay beer and definitely a summer beer to be enjoyed on porches or after mowing the lawn. I drank it out of the bottle so I have no comments on head, color, etc. I picked up blueberry, clove, and malty flavors.
