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. Well, "lemonade flavor" pretty much describes this beer. Drunk straight from the bottle. Aroma is beer, with notes of lemonade. Flavor is, well, something else - a concoction of lemonade and beer with notes of wheat. It’s not awful, but this shouldn’t be drunk unless you’ve been outside in the hot sun and the beer is served just above freezing. Better than the alternative - Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

Sampled 12oz bottles of this at my first imperial stout tasting. Pours a thick, oily black with a tan, creamy head. Aroma of chocolate, bourbon, oak, vanilla and whiskey. Flavors are similar with burnt toast, tobacco, oak, and bourbon. Oily on the tongue, really hot on the finish. A very, very big beer.

Courtesy of Gunhaver. Pitch black, aroma is of toffee, chocolat malt and a little herbal, maybe from the hops. Very thick and heavy. Pleasantly surprised to see Leinenkugels make such an impressive stout.

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-brown color. Mellow aroma of brewery malt and faint hops. The mouthfeel is quite watery, with some half decent amber malt characteristics. Creamy and drinkable. Tolerable stuff.

Cloudy blonde with big fluffy white head. The aroma is very limey, gingery. Sweet, a little bit sticky and a lot like lemonade. This isn’t much of a fruit beer so much as a hard lemonade.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is a strong lemon and light malt. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a very sweet overpowering lemon that is a bit too acidic. Overall not too much going on with this one.

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma has some dark malts and and roasted nuts. Flavor is dark malts with some coffee with a super creamy texture. They really went for the creamyness and they got that right. Nothing great but it is different and at least worth a try.

4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4
Bottle. Pale yellow body. Diminishing white head. Light aroma of grain, corn and herbs. Lightly sweet flavor with a light bitterness in the fnish. Light body and watery texture. Fizzy carbonation. Better than many mass market pale lagers, though only marginally so. It is crisp and clean and goes down easily cold.
