Description
In May 1867, the Leinenkugel family brewery was founded in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin by Jacob Leinenkugel. He was a family man driven by an iron work ethic, and he knew that his German family heritage would play an integral part of his brewery’s success. Today, the sixth generation of Leinenkugels continues to brew some of the same family-inspired recipes that Jacob poured his heart and soul into. Over the years, our family has grown and so has our brewery, but our history and heritage remain at the forefront.

Can for 2$ at chalet. Pour is quite hazy with a nice creamy head that fades to a film. Nose is girlie perfumy excessively sweet hops of some sort, not too attractive for a 'beer'! Taste is rude crude and bitterly sweet. Yes, that perfume character really carries over into the taste. Nasty nellie; think about somebody putting perfume onto a bitter unripe green grapefruit rind and then chewing up that combo in yer mouth. Blah blah black sheep. Yea, I'm not diggen this perfumey IPA BS thing that's popular as of late, must be en vogue. Stupid fad if you ask me, but hey, I'm just a lowly macro pale lager lover, what else can be said? The Leiny Lemon Haze IPA was better than this, and that aint saying much. There, you have it from the horses pale lager mouth.

12oz bottle. Big coffee, vanilla aroma and flavor. Sort of nails it for the style. Medium bodied, big flavors, but nice and sessionable. Not my favorite thing to drink but a pretty good example.

I bought this Imperial twist on Summer Shandy for a tick and curiosity. When I was walking behind a mower on my lawn years ago, Summer Shandy was my refresher. Haven’t had one in years. High Shore has more than I expected. It’s not just lemonade with a kick. It has a smooth, hazy character that makes me think that I will pick up another one to sip while sitting on my deck enjoying the Michigan summer.

12 oz can from a six pack. Aroma has notes of vanilla, cocoa, butterscotch. Pours clear golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent to good retention. Taste has some perceived sweetness from the vanilla and white chocolate and some hoppy bitterness in the background. There’s a somewhat soapy off-note here that isn’t too intrusive. Pretty tasty overall.

Christmas gift mixed six pack item from a bottle from a friend. Pour is clear pale with an every so slight orange tint. Nose is odd gravel slag like that of old J&L steel works. Very little head. I could never figger out why they call these pale beers stout, very few if any actually have any taste character as real stout. This for example, tastes like an odd pale ale of sorts, nothing in here reminds me of stout. The use of pale malts removes any likeness to roasty dark stout, and adding adjuncts like cocoa oats, vanilla, and coffee beans to mimic those flavors, results in a stupid ass lighter beer that is not really stout. Those additions do not help! Well, lets call it a white stout and make a new style category to fool all those so called beer tickers out there. So be it, and I fell for it too! Wait, even tho there is no mocha or coffee flavor in this, I think I'm picking out some vanilla and an ever so slight bitterness on the finish but, I dont see it listed on the label. Oh well, another tick.

Clear gold pour. Smells of grainy, bready malt and chocolate. The flavor is sweet and malty with mild chocolate. It’s okay. I remain fairly unimpressed with the style. Just give me a real stout.

Aromas are real nice natural, fresh grapefruit with a little malt. Flavors are similar to nose but a little washed out with mild sweetness and a little bitter in the finish. Okay body and carbonation.
