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.

Bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar, thank you sir! Pours thick and black with a beautiful but reluctant dark brown head that lasts seconds. Aroma of pure Hershey’s syrup, subtle bourbon. Taste has vanilla, wood, dark fruits, raisins. Nice stuff.

The aroma was very fruity. Very pleasing by the aroma. The flavor of this beer is predominantly fruity. As others have mentioned it has a fruity pebbles flavor. I didn’t necessarily think of fruity pebbles but I did think of orange, lemon and raspberry. My opinion is that this is a amazing beer, hands down!

Bottle. Pour is medium golden, not amber, with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is of crisp dry malt, weak hint of hops. The body is thin with little malt character. This isn’t going to get you to excited!

I can smell the honey, just can’t taste it. nothing to distinguish this wheat beer. have had better from this brewer. very lack-luster at best. Sunset wheat is 500 times better

12 ounce bottle courtesy of phaleslu. Thanks! Pours a clear pale golden color with a medium white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of honey, grainy notes and a very faint hop character. The taste is grainy, honey, slightly nutty and a grassy finish. Medium bodied. Decent.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours dishwater gold with a foamy white head. Strong lemon aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor starts pretty lemon and ends up pretty wheat. It’s drinkable. Got something of a bite in the finish. Not sure what.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy yellow gold with a thick white head that quickly dissipated to the edges. Aroma was full of lemon notes with other sweet and citrus fruits underlying. Flavor began sweet with fruits then the citrus grew to a very lemony finish.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber-copper color with a large tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of pale malts and grassy hops. The taste is grassy with the faintest hint of caramel and lots of rough grainy notes. Thin bodied. In no way is this a Vienna as the label states. Poor beer.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark amber with a medium frothy beige head that lasts awhile. The aroma is a roasted malt and raisin. Medium mouthfeel with a light roasted malt and caramel. Easy to drink, a good American dark lager from Leinenkugels.

Very hazy golden coloured body with a thick dense white head and quite a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of lemons, lemonade, citrus and perhaps a touch of wheat - a LOT of lemons, of course. Light-bodied; Assertive lemonade flavours with some fake lemons, fake sugar and very very light malt, almost no taste of alcohol. Aftertaste is mild only showing lemonade and fake sugars. Overall, not a horrible representation of a radler, but not a great beer, and definitely not worth trying. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 15-June-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 05-July-2010.
