These canoe taps produced by Leinenkugel are prolific and popular. Each variety of beer has its own color, and the Sunset Wheat is blue. The other varieties do not have the orange slice (although one has a lemon). Also, there are small 7" versions and larger 14" versions of each variety (this is the larger version). Although it says "Leinie's" and not Leinenkugel, the names are used interchangeably by the brewery. Pictures don't quite do this tap justice; it's impressive when you hold it in your hand.
Sunset Wheat is a Belgian-style Witbier brewed with coriander for a smooth creaminess and citrus flavor, and it won a silver medal in the 2006 Great American Beer Festival. Recommended food pairings are seafood and spicy pepperjack cheese. Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 2.91 out of 5.

ReplyDeleteThat seems a little steep to me. I'm going to wait it out, I think the price will drop...
ReplyDeleteI think it'll go UP, especially after they stop production on the temporary brew....we'll see.....
