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.

12 oz twist off bottle that was part of the World Market 9 pack Beers of Winter gift from my Mother in Law. MAR2618 printed on bottle neck. The pour is a brown ruby copper with a fizzy one inch light khaki head that is lasting. The aroma is sweet caramel, vanilla and soft roast malt. The taste is sweet cherry vanilla, caramel malt, and a bit of a coffee roast coming through in the finish. The palate is light bodied, very active carbonation and a sweetish vanilla lingering finish. With the sweetness and high carbonation, almost has a soda pop feel to it.

bottle - Clear reddish-brown pour. The aroma is of toasted malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with caramel and a touch of dark fruit. It's alright though not as robust as I expected from a doppelbock.

12 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh grapefruit, orange juice pith, and moderate sweetness. Flavour is very pithy and artificial, with sweet grapefruit, orange pith, and earthy sweetness. Artificial and unconvincing, but it's pleasant enough for what it is.

The aroma flavor and body are all suffering from a weak malt bill. The concept is good as I pick up some of the claimed qualities of dark malts roastiness, vanilla, burnt sugar but the thinness does damage.

Bottle, pour is plain yellow. Smell is candy sweet. Taste is sweet as well, perhaps a little artificial and fruity. Pretty good co2. Could not drink two of these. Has an almost perfume flavored finish.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Whole Foods Market. Appearance is clear, dark brown/ruby red with finger-width, light brown foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong vanilla, chocolate, sweet roasted malts. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, this was a real favorite of mine a few years back but I'm finding it a bit too sweet now, which is saying something, and overcarbonated.
