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.

Clear gold pour. Smells of grainy, bready malt and chocolate. The flavor is sweet and malty with mild chocolate. It’s okay. I remain fairly unimpressed with the style. Just give me a real stout.

Aromas are real nice natural, fresh grapefruit with a little malt. Flavors are similar to nose but a little washed out with mild sweetness and a little bitter in the finish. Okay body and carbonation.

Aromas are lime extract and a little malt. Flavors are similar to nose and a little heavy handed on the lime. Bittersweet. Maybe better to cook with.

Aromas are peaches with some malt. Flavors are similar to nose; slightly more tart than sweet. Straightforward peach beer. Certainly drinkable but nothing special.

Aromas are malt, cherry and a bit floral. Flavors are similar to nose with sweet cherry flavor in a slightly tart beer. Okay body and carbonation. Pretty basic flavored beer.

Aromas are passion fruit, guava and malt maybe some citrus. Flavors are similar to nose with citrus coming out and dominating. Slightly more sweet than bitter or carbonation. One of the better craft style Leinies that I've had.

Not bad. Quite similar to the Shiner, slightly less dark but just as roasted.
