Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat Review

There have been several requests from you guys for certain beers that you would like to see reviewed, and I am tackling the list in order of availability. This beer that I'm reviewing today is the perfect beer for spring and summertime. Today's beer is Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat.

Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat is similar to Blue Moon Belgian White Ale, which could be why I enjoyed it so much. Leinenkugel's happens to be owned by SABMiller, who owns Coors, who produce Blue Moon, so I wasn't surprised to find similarities between Leinenkugel's and Blue Moon. Leinenkugel's is produced in the United States, in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

This beer is a witbier, or "White Beer" and is unfiltered, giving it a nice cloudy appearance and a beautiful color.  The pour didn't give a magnificent head, at least not when I was filming.  I poured a second one afterward that had a much better head than the first.  In both cases, the head retained itself throughout the entire drinking experience.  The smell was a sweeter smell, and had a hint of citrus without any real hint of hops.

The beer was very smooth going down.  It wasn't crisp or dry at all, and had a wonderful sweet citrus taste followed up by the taste of the wheat and a hoppy finish.  The hops only really appear at the end of the taste and they don't linger around for too long, which is why I enjoyed this beer so much.  The body was medium- not watery and not syrupy. 

I failed to point out in the video that this beer has a 4.9% alcohol content, so it is a little on the lighter side as far as that is concerned for a wheat beer.  All things considered, I rate this beer well for its aroma, taste, texture, body, and appearance.  It is a definite 10 out of 10 beer.  You can find this beer and other Leinenkugel's varieties nationwide.  They do have some seasonal beers that are only available in the spring, summer, or fall, depending on the beer.  The price will run you about $1.25-$1.50 a bottle.

So, leave me some comments and tell me if you agree with my assessment and definitely suggest more beers that you would like to see reviewed.  If I can access the beer you request, I will do a review on it for you.  Thanks for reading and watching.  Keep drinking good beer!
