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.

Pour is a copper with a big white head. Aroma is non-existant. Flavor is much the same. No real malts or hops are present. Finish is watery and bland. Not a marzen.

From the beer store in Moon, nice place. Slightly cloudy poor that is not sunset red. Appeares lively but just the opposite when it hits your tongue. Could not detect any fruity roma or flavor. As good as beer twice it’s price. Just a very slight bitter finish then at the very end......a tiny eeny hint of oranges.

On tap. Light golden body. Refreshing German style lager, no wheat and no honey (had to confirm with my waitress that I really had been served what I asked for). Quite dry, crispy and bitter aftertaste. OK, but not to interesting. Definitively not my type of beer.

Bottle. Strong orange/lemon-lime and wheat aroma. Lightly cloudy orange-yellow color with moderate head. A strong berry-orange flavor (like Fruit-Loops). An average American wheat that’s heavy on the fruit side.

Dark Lager (Creamy Dark) from Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company

5.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 7.5
Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca for 75 cents per 12 oz bottle. Nice and dark with a red glow in my three stooges glass but the flavor was a little weaker than I expected. Not too much bubble or fizzyness. Yuengling’s black and tan is a much better beer. A little watery, somewhat like Mich Amber Bock. Not bad for a dark beer, rather friendly and fun.

Pour is a hazy yellow. Aroma is super amped up coriander. If you close your eyes you could mistake this for orange juice. Flavor is a bit bland. Some lemon zest and a bit of wheat. Was the powerful smell there to hide the lackluster flavor? Nothing special.

bottle - Pours cloudy orange with a thin head. This one has a very assertive citrus aroma. The carbonation is light and the body medium, combining for a pleasant mouthfeel. The flavor is sweet with strong citrus notes and tastey spices. Sunset Wheat is an interesting and refreshing wheat beer. I enjoyed it.

5.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
bottle - It certainly looks good. The aroma is sweet malt and pretty mild. The flavor is similar and while okay, not nearly intense enough. The body is too thin. This is an okay tasting, easy to drink session brew, but it’s no more than that.

This looks good enough and could pass for a good wheat beer. It has substantially more wheat than the honey weiss; but is a little thinner. The aroma has a lot of citrus and so does the flavor. But there is also a strange sweet flavor and just makes this beer not work. It is sour, and even more so with the citrus, but it is trying to run the middle ground between hefeweizen, wit, and crappy American wheat and the result is a beer that nearly works, but not quite.
