Leinie's Sunset Wheat

There's a new Leinie on the block, and its name is Sunset Wheat.

“The packaging, with its sunset, lake scene and pier with an Adirondack chair, takes someone to a place that says this is Leinenkugels. This is the northwoods,” Leinenkugel said.

Sunset Wheat is brewed with malted wheat, balanced with pale barley malt and spiced with Cluster hops and natural flavors. It has a golden, hazy appearance typical of wheat beers and is flavored with coriander, a spice derived from the seed of the cilantro plant.

By the sound of it, Sunset Wheat will be hitting the store shelves any day now, my fellow Leinie's drinkers out there. It sounds like an interesting beer, and it thankfully isn't an orange flavored beer, which was a rumor at one point.
