Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Pours a distinct orange with foamy white head. Aroma is of a sweet orange. The flavor, however - isn’t overly sweet at all. Goes down smooth and crisp, with orange at first, and an overall "fruit loops" flavor follows. Not bad at all.

Out of a can on an airplane. Pours a distinct orange color - was the brewer trying to recreate the autumn sunset over the midwest wheat fields? Nice witbeer haze. The head lingers for a while, almost appearing to pick up some notes of the orange color, but leaving a smotth white dusting over the beer. Massive orange on the nose - i know this is a witbeer but the nose makes me wonder if this is more of a fruit beer. while somewhat pleasing initially, this is too much orange aroma. Taste bites hard on the front with the orange, hiding the malts. Mouthfeel is a little thin and taste continues to follow through with orange that quickly dissipates. I think the orange overpowers what could have been a fair beer.

On Tap in the USA. A poor try at a Hefe. This stuff is some of the Ice Cream Palor flavored brewery stuff I try to avoid. Lots of added flavors that unbalance to entire experaince

Do not approach this beer with an aggressive stance. It is intended to be consumed as a summer beer, for certain. Incredibly smooth and easy to drink, but you have to be a fan of fruit flavor, as the orange slice seals the deal and makes this beer truly outstanding.

Cloudy orange with a thick white head. Slight spice - maybe pepper/clove aroma. Moderately dry and somewhat thin. An excellent summer beer for cooling down.

Bottle. Cloudy apricot pour. Not too much to rate in terms of nose, palate or taste. OK to drink on a humid day or if you are a little drunk.

Bottle. OK. Great summer type beer, even though had it in the fall. Reminds me of a good hefeweiss. A bit too cloudy in apperance but still has a great flavor and aroma. Would drink again. Recommend it.
