Did you know that Wisconsin produces more cranberries than any state in America? Our hometown pride inspired us to brew Leinenkugel’s Cranberry Ginger Shandy. The combination of wheat beer, cranberry and ginger is as refreshing as a toboggan ride Out Here.

Pretty random bottle brought to a party. Sure, why not? Pinkish. Cranberry and ginger as predicted. Reasonably balanced, but pretty bland and uninteresting.

bottle - Pours hazy gold with a one finger white head. The aroma is mostly cranberries. It tastes sweet with cranberries dominating and some light malt. I’m not noticing the ginger, which is disappointing. If you put it in the name of the beer, I think it should be a more obvious flavor. Like the other Leinenkugel’s fruit beers, this one’s drinkable but far from impressive.

Bottle. A- Raspberries, cranberries, subtle ginger, sweet. A- Golden color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Tart, artificial flavors, berries, ginger ale, sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbontion, artificial finish. O- The smell was really nice and gave me some halfway hopes that this might turn out good. But it didn’t. Very artificial tasting and just not good.

Bottle from the sampler case. hazy dingy yellow light tan. Big full effervescent off white head. Standard fruity wheat beer aroma. Plenty of sweet berry flavor right up front and then the wheat malt comes in and smooths everything out. A little more berry tang at the end. Actually quite pleasant. A bit surprised.

Pours a turbid light amber with a thick off-white head. Immediate aroma is cranberry. Flavor is basically Schweppes Cran Ginger Ale, with a little lasting maltiness.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy pale yellow-orange color with a huge creamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet sugar, grapefruit, lemon and berries. The flavor was very tart with sugar, cranberry, lemon and ginger powder. Long finish. Light body. Pretty tasty.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is nicely ginger. Med minus body. Sadly the flavor is too much wheat, a little cranberry and only enough ginger to notice. Waste of ginger.

Pour is a reddish orange with a large white head. Aroma is of course cranberry. I can smell it from the glass without bringing it to my nose. Flavor is a very bitter berry fruit and not much after that. I don’t get much ginger, just a strong cranberry. Don’t know how artificial or natural this is but it’s decent if you like cranberry juice.
