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.

17th September 2008. Another weak ’lager like’ wheat from this brewery. This at least goes down a little easier. Flavoured with a little orange. Not great but didn’t have to force it down.

16th September 2008. Pale gold clear beer. Tastes very much like a very weak lager with a little additional sweetness from the honey. Too watery and bland and not enough wheat beer characteristics.

Out of a can on an airplane. Pours a distinct orange color - was the brewer trying to recreate the autumn sunset over the midwest wheat fields? Nice witbeer haze. The head lingers for a while, almost appearing to pick up some notes of the orange color, but leaving a smotth white dusting over the beer. Massive orange on the nose - i know this is a witbeer but the nose makes me wonder if this is more of a fruit beer. while somewhat pleasing initially, this is too much orange aroma. Taste bites hard on the front with the orange, hiding the malts. Mouthfeel is a little thin and taste continues to follow through with orange that quickly dissipates. I think the orange overpowers what could have been a fair beer.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear copper golden with a small off white head that leaves good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a floral hops with dough and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a bready malt with a metallic finish. Not much going on with this one.

not the best ive ever had, like a macro trying to be a micro, no real taste or flavor that distinguishes it, not a great aftertaste, wont do it again.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is nutty; also smell cinnamon, grain. Pours chestnut brown with minimal head, moderate lacing. Flavor isn’t as good as I remember it. Still, not bad. It’s quite nutty (thinking of Austin Powers) obviously; caramel, cinnamon notes. A little watery. Finishes nutty, faintly sour.

Bottle. Deep amber, clear body. Off white, rapidly diminishing head. Nice roasty aroma of grain, nuts, ash with a whiff of coffee. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet andlightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The beer starts with a hit of strong coffee-like roast with a nutty flavor in the middle. It turns lightly tart. Crisp and clean. Nothing complex. Straightforward and easy drinking.
