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.

12 oz bottle-pours a pink tinged white head and fuscia? Color. Aroma is berry spritzer. Taste is berry spritzer with some tart, light malt. Wine spritzer meets beer without the bier.

Draught at Detroit airport. Cloudy amber with a trace of white head; unexpected aroma of berry fruits and the more usual wheat; sweet to start with strawberry, orange and other fruit flavours, then a short bitter burst and a dry floury finish. Different and rather pleasant.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Sickly looking head quickly subsides. Sour, stale malt aromas. Bubbly with a nasty sour chalkiness from front to back. I hope there’s something wrong with this bottle.

Bottle. Pours an orange/copper with about a finger of sudsy head. Aromas are sweet malt without much other complexity. Flavor is sweet caramel with a spicy finish. Taste is surprisingly full and full of spiciness. Much better than I expected. Maybe it’s just getting on to fall and I’m over-ready.

12oz bottle. Orange-brown colored, filtered and transparent. Pretty decent Oktoberfest, would do better in a blind tasting, but being SAB is gonna open you up to some harsh criticism, perhaps justifiably so. The flavor profile is alright for the style, but the beer just fades on you into a watery finish. Crisp mild balancing hops hold the beer together. Not great, but certainly not bad either.

Bottle. Pour is a coppery amber with a one-finger head and sweet malt aromas with a touch of metal thrown in there. Flavor is watery up front and then transitions to a kind of toffee malt finish.

A hazy golden ale with a thin white head. Strong aroma of orange Tang. In mouth, a good malt and wheat backbone with an off putting artificial orange taste. Medium bodied. Bought at CJs Potsdam, 1.40$.

I had this the other day for a BBQ, and it was a good choice. Very refreshing in the realm of a Hoegaarden with more body. Has a nice wheat flavor that stays until the next sip.

On tap. Cloudy orange body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is spicy, fruity, oranges and a bit wheat yeasty. Flavor is sweetish fruity, orange, some banana and lemon candy. Could be a lot more beer here, but its really a refreshing treat.
