On tap. Light golden body. Refreshing German style lager, no wheat and no honey (had to confirm with my waitress that I really had been served what I asked for). Quite dry, crispy and bitter aftertaste. OK, but not to interesting. Definitively not my type of beer.

Bottle. Strong orange/lemon-lime and wheat aroma. Lightly cloudy orange-yellow color with moderate head. A strong berry-orange flavor (like Fruit-Loops). An average American wheat that’s heavy on the fruit side.

Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca for 75 cents per 12 oz bottle. Nice and dark with a red glow in my three stooges glass but the flavor was a little weaker than I expected. Not too much bubble or fizzyness. Yuengling’s black and tan is a much better beer. A little watery, somewhat like Mich Amber Bock. Not bad for a dark beer, rather friendly and fun.

Pour is a hazy yellow. Aroma is super amped up coriander. If you close your eyes you could mistake this for orange juice. Flavor is a bit bland. Some lemon zest and a bit of wheat. Was the powerful smell there to hide the lackluster flavor? Nothing special.

Pour is a bright pink with a fizzy pink head. Aroma is deffinatly berry. Flavor is super sweet berry with a mix of syurp. Not really a beer and not for me. Too sweet and cloying.

bottle - Pours cloudy orange with a thin head. This one has a very assertive citrus aroma. The carbonation is light and the body medium, combining for a pleasant mouthfeel. The flavor is sweet with strong citrus notes and tastey spices. Sunset Wheat is an interesting and refreshing wheat beer. I enjoyed it.

bottle - It certainly looks good. The aroma is sweet malt and pretty mild. The flavor is similar and while okay, not nearly intense enough. The body is too thin. This is an okay tasting, easy to drink session brew, but it’s no more than that.

This looks good enough and could pass for a good wheat beer. It has substantially more wheat than the honey weiss; but is a little thinner. The aroma has a lot of citrus and so does the flavor. But there is also a strange sweet flavor and just makes this beer not work. It is sour, and even more so with the citrus, but it is trying to run the middle ground between hefeweizen, wit, and crappy American wheat and the result is a beer that nearly works, but not quite.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Malty nose with a touch of honey. Medium body with pilsener malts and a discreet, underlying bitterness. Rather soft mouthfeel. Extremely subdued bitterness. 050406

Bottled. Miller’s answer to Blue Moon, I suppose. Pours cloudy, a surprise in itself. A sure enough big wheaty head with some lacing, that sticks around to the end. I get an Orange Shasta smell, and since I like the smell of orange pop, I call that okay. Some of the wit-type coriander does come up, too. Taste matches the smell pretty well. A rather nice, orangey glow that by rights should put this into a fruit beer category. Any spice and hops just blend well into the overall impression. Another very serviceable lawnmower beer.
