What is the strong, fruitlike flavor in Leinenkugel's Sunset Wheat Beer?

Cherry if I’m not mistaken

I dont know the brand but wheat beer in general I find has a sort of citrus flavour. Try it with a slice of lemon in it.

@caly420 – I can see what you mean, and wondered if it might be that.

I’d swear it was Fruity Pebbles. Love that stuff.

Traditionally, wheat beers are flavoured with orange peel and coriander. While I have never had that particular wheat beer, the orange on the label should be an indicator.

“Yummy Goodness” ...or orange.

According to Beeradvocate: Belgian Wit in style, but brewed with a lager yeast strain and a top-note of blueberry added (info directly from the Leinenkugel Bros).

I was this close to having a Leinenkugel bottle as my New Year’s avatar.

Hey, thanks! :) Homebrewer husband wants to make one similar, so that totally helps. With the cluster hops for the citrusy note, that just might work!

@laureth I’ll taste test when the Mr. is done if you’d like. ;)

This sounds delicious. I wonder if its available in the UK.
