About
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.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
Bottle: Chestnut brown with a head that dissapated quickly. Mild aroma is toasty and nutty with a very deep sweetness. Tastes nutty and roasty, perhaps a bit of toffee. Again, there is a deep sweetness. Some floral stuff too.

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Sample at Bodega. This beer is a clear amber-brown color with a medium thin beige head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Mildly nutty aroma with touches of malt and hops. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, sweet maple and light hops. The finish is sweet and nutty with a short and sweet malt aftertaste. Just average overall.

Pours amber/nutty with beige head. Aroma is nutty with some cocoa nibs. Taste, lots of malts and hazelnuts leaving an after taste hoppy but enjoyable. Overall taste is weak, mostly nutty and malty.

12 oz bottle. I know what I’m drinking is unnatural, there’s just something. Something about it that probably will make me return to it. I don’t know. At any rate, the beer is pretty average. Flavor is sweet, with nuttiness and sweet malts.

123 oz bottle...amber with a short lived beige head...a mild nutty malt aroma...quite disappointing judging by the name...sweet caramel and hazelnut flavors (artificial)...a touch of nuttiness but all watered down...the name lured me in , but burned me by the fireside

Sunset Wheat from Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company

4.3/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 2 Overall 4
Pours hazy blonde/golden, thick white head. Aroma is just filled with fruits. I am not getting muhc of anyting natural in the flavor, and instead get too much added flavors. The aroma is overloaded with citrus / orange peel and wheat, it becomes borderline soda. Taste is about the same, with some added coriander, the whole mix give it a fruity taste close to grapefruit. Too much of a ’soda’ orange like taste with hints of hops in the background. Drinkable, but not natural enough for my tastes.
