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.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is very fruity--pineapple especially. Hazy gold color, little head, moderate lacing. Taste is almost as fruity as the aroma--pineapple, lemon, wheaty taste. Medium-bodied. Pretty decent wheat beer.

Bottle. A reddish amber color with a small off-white head. Smells like a mixed berry spritzer, tastes similar. A little malty before the artificial fruit flavoring takes over. Lame.

bottle - Pours amber with a small head. It has a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is sweet caramel malt. Hops is barely detectable. It’s light bodied, clean, and utterly ordinary. edit: d’oh, that was rating #1900. If I’d noticed beforehand I’d have entered a better brew for it.

Bottled. A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of soy sauce, wood, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, roasted malt, soy sauce, and alcohol, as well as medium notes of wood, leading to a dry roasted and woody finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle: Poured a clean golden color ale with a large bubbly white head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of honey and light wheat malt is mostly bland. Taste is dominated by light sweet honey malt with not much wheat being noticeable. Body is kind of light with good carbonation. Very bland and ordinary and almost taste like a macro.

12oz gift bottle from CaptainCougar. Thanks Tom! Opened August of 09, Not sure what year it was bottled. Opens with a minimal hiss. Pitch black with a rusty orange head that rises up and then fades back down after a minute. Thick and oily mouthfeel, with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Chocolate syrup, bitter cocoa, and a slight warming all come together. The carbonation is rather light with the aging, but the smoothness is quite worth it. An excellent beer, the best Leinenkugel beer I can imagine existing.
