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.

I’ve rated allot of Leinenkugel much higher than the rest of the ratebeerians. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the Wheat. It’s middle of the road. Not my favorite leinie.

GT2 (4012) - Washington DC, USA - JUN 2, 2012
355mL stolen at house party. Into pint glass. Full haze orange Blue Moon pour. Thick detergent white foam. Weak lace. Super sticky sweet lemon drop candy nose. Taste is sticky lemon drop candies, detergent flavoring, soapy, very sugary. Woah. Very artificial tasting. God this brewery just sucks. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow with a medium-sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lemon, bit of coriander, some banana/wheat, and a fruity note I can’t quite place. Apricot? It’s pretty pronounced but just generic enough that I can’t pin it down. A tad sweet. Mouthfeel is light but creamy. Refreshing. More flavorful than I’m used to from Leinies.

Aroma is oranges and grain. Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Taste is citrus and sweet with some spice. Nice beer.

Similar in style to Hoegaarden but a tastier improvement. Exceptional brew.

12 oz bottle. Good summer beer with lots of citrus flavor, but perhaps a little too sweet for more than one or two.

One of the better Leinies beers, got to be fresh and ice cold or taste will suffer. Hints of orange and citrus slight bitter taste goes down pretty good refreshing. Nice style of beer from a brewer that can hit or miss. Hints of Blueberry too

ronaldtheriot (449) - Laplace, Louisiana, USA - MAY 8, 2012
Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat has a very thick, cream-colored, fluffy head and a hazy, yellow-orange appearance with tiny streaming bubbles and some lacing left behind. The aroma is strongly sweet, citrus, and bready. Taste is likewise sweet, citrus, candy-like, mild brown bread, spices, and with a touch of bitterness, however, this is minimal. The body is medium, and Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat finishes semi-dry, mild, and drinkable. For a flavored beer, which I admittedly don’t care for, it’s very good, and I would say it’s worth a try.

Decent summer beer. Light-bodied, bit of lemon/orange citrus with the wheat; crisp. Won’t blow you away, but it’s not supposed to - it’s a relaxing hot weather type of sipper. Nothing wrong with that.

vipinvelp (348) - Velp, NETHERLANDS - MAY 4, 2012
Hazy golden with disappointing foam head. Smells like citrus, taste like lemon and something undefined. I tried, but won't do again. (Houston 201205) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bb (4887) - Alamo, California, USA - MAY 4, 2012
Bottle. Hazy amber beer with a cream head. Spice and wheat aroma. Orange and wheat flavor with light spice. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Orange and wheat linger with light earthiness.
