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 from CaptainCougar. Thanks again Tom. Opaque brown/black color with a tan head that died in weird ways. Dark toasted malty aroma. Full bodied with normal carbonation. Flavor is sweetish toasted malt with hints of toffee and coffee. Touch of treacle. Date fruit aspects throughout. Finishes more sweet than dry. A certain astringency occurs in the finish. Hardly a trace of heat. Delicious.

Overall Impression: This was a decent beer, didn’t really taste like a typical Oktoberfest beer almost more like a pale specifically for autumn or something. Kind of a lightness to it, drinkable beer, reddish-orange color, and you can taste a little caramel.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 4/13/09

Aroma: Caramel, nuts, toasty, touch of honey
Appearance: Not amber as you might expect from the name...Golden, clear, little beige head
Flavor: Mostly malty sweetness, taste comes from the hops, but it is almost all malts, very much lager in the taste
Palate: Light-Medium body
Overall Impression: A pretty average, but solid amber lager. You know, it's not bad...but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Bottle from a small upscale liquor store. Poured clear amber with an ok beige head. Aromas of malt and extremely mild citrus. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor of caramel and very light citrus. It is dry. It finishes a tad astringent. Rather refreshing. And some definite bitter is coming out.

Bottle: Deep brown with amber tints, smaller beige head. Smells roasty and nutty, with some faint coffee grounds. Tastes malty and more or less watered down. Not much going on here over the watery lager malt taste.
