Description
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.

Can - Intense lemon and some hard candy notes. Cloudy yellow gold with a decent white head. Lemon, rind and some pithy bitterness. Big lemon notes, but not much of a beer. I guess this is what a shandy is like, so I cant fault it too much.

12 ounce bottle. Been a Wisconsin resident for 17 months so about time I tick this. Clear golden, thin white head, fair retention. Aroma of toasted pale malt, grassy hop. Taste is strong grassy hop, pale malt. Medium bodied, crisp, lingering bitterness, high carbonation. Better than expected. I could crush a few of these.

Bottle: Almost clear, amber-orange with a smooth beige head. Aroma of caramel malt, grass, hay. Taste is a bit toasty.....caramel malt, a touch of leaves and woody bitter. A very pleasant, solid and comfortable lager.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a nut brown color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet with toasty malts, molasses, yeast and a hint of vegetal malts. The flavor was tangy with caramel, molasses, yeast and pineapple. Medium length finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Pleasant.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 3/26/2018. Pours crystal clear golden amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of honey, nuttiness, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with light notes of honey, nuttiness, pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, biscuit, light honey/nuttiness, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness of bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.9%. Overall this is a delicious pale lager. All around nice robustness of bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Clean and nicely rich Pils/Munich malt flavors, with just enough earthy hops to balance. Drinks more like a Helles to me. A really enjoyable offering, and great style example.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a fizzy white head and decent retention. Spotty lacing. Highly carbonated. Good sweet lemon taste. Very refreshing. Very lemon soda-like with limited Weiss flavors. Light body. Slightly acidic finish. Really good, flavorful, light summer beer.
