Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Bowl of fruity pebbles on the nose. Bowl of fruity pebbles on the palate with a wheat and corn aftertaste. Fairly refreshing although a little too sweet.

Bottle at San Juan. Hazy orange color, medium-sized off-white head. Aroma has sweet fruits, coriander and bread. Light bodied, watery palate. Flavor has sweetish wheaty fruityness, light coriander. Kind of witbier. Not anything I like so much, but my first Leinenkugels after 13200 ratings!

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a hazy golden/orange/light brown colored body with no head whatsoever, lacing is spotty and leaves no rings. There is a fair amount of carbonation surfacing. I’m just wondering what is that floating around within the brew? I have no clue.
The smell had some blueberry, orange and wheat, kinda like fruity pebbles.
The taste had the previously mentioned flavors come back but with a bit of lemon and lime.
The palate was about a light to medium, slightly sessionable, extreme fruity aftertaste, wet fruity finish, fair amount of carbonation hitting the tongue.
Overall, just a fruit/vegetable beer that doesn’t really go with anything, was a decent dessert beer on my back deck watching the sun go down on a Spring evening, could be a decent \"crossover\" for a malt drinker to turn to beer.

Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, wheat, artificial orange, zest and hint of coriander. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a artificial orange fruity finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

On tap. It’s an unclear orange colored beer with a white head. The aroma is very orangey, in a very artificial way. Some spice notes and a malty touch. The flavor is pretty much the same, the artificial orange dominates, leaving little room for the malts and spices. Medium body. Sure drinkable, but way too artificial. 130808

From a 12 oz bottle at home. Pours a murky gold with a fine white head. Citrus aroma. Lemonade flavor dominates. OK for the style.

Bottle. Big fruity citrus and wheat aroma. Cloudy straw gold with a small white head, nice lacing. Citrusy mixed fruit flavor -- lemon, lime, berry -- and coriander flavor. Medium body and carbonation. One of the best from Leinenkugels I’ve had to date.
