Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat:
Greetin’s and salutations y’all.  Welcome to a day of beer that tastes like a cereal of our youth: Corn puffs!  No just kidding, it’s Fruity Pebbles and, to be honest, I got this reference from a cohort in this challenge and I’ll be damned if he wasn’t right.  The beer Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat, a beer that is really a departure from your normal wheat beers in it’s flavor and nose.  The beer pours a nice hazy golden color with a thin white head that dissipates about half way through consumption and a nose of, well, Fruity Pebbles.  The beer’s initial taste is a bitter wheat taste akin to plain cream of wheat before moving to a mid-tongue flavor of F.P. which mellows a bit to a combo of with the wheat on the back-end and a after-taste that is very mellow and non-intrusive.  This is a wheat beer for the non-wheat beer lovers because it’s taste is probably the furthest thing from a traditional wheat beer that I’ve ever had and, it’s not bad.  Worth a single in the six pack if you’re curious or really into liquid Fruity Pebbles though, for me, it’s off the list to try and I probably won’t purposely buy it in the future but I’ll definitely recommended it.
