Beer Review: Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat

A Diamond in the Rough

Some people may to refer to this as Leinie’s or just sunset wheat, but regardless of what you call it its delicious. The first thing you will need to do is find this beer. It is widely distributed, but not in great quantities. If you have the chance to get this beer on tap, like other beers, is even better out of the tap. After you get your hands on this drink you will notice that it smells and taste a little like Fruity Pebbles. Seriously, if you have enjoyed a bowl of Fruity Pebbles you will like this beer. This is a very fruity beer, almost as fruity as an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, but not as annoying and has no affect on your sexual orientation.

This may be a turn off to many regular beer drinkers and those who do not care for sweet drinks. On the other hand, this is great for people who do not typically enjoy beer. Many a female who swear against your average beer will most definitely drink this. It is also a great summer beer; enjoy this in nice weather or when you are just relaxing. I am positive (even more so than Magic) about this beer being a great experience for all who try it. Some will not drink very much of it and others will make it their beer of choice, but all will probably agree that they can drink it with no complaints.
