Fantastic orange, ginger, pine, bubble gum nose. Hazy amber, medium yellowish head. Cranberry and ginger turning to strong wheat malt and bubble gum. Medium body, easy carbonation. This is actually good, really, really good. It may not be "cool" to say so, but Leinenkugel’s makes some really neat beers. This is one of them.

12 oz. bottle. Cloudy yellow with an amber or pink hue, no head. Aroma is a light lasting cranberry, nothing more.
Flavor is a moderate tart berry without any acidity or astringency. Mild note of a wheat backbone. Weak notes of ginger in a thin watery body. Is this totally undrinkable? No. But I’m not rushing to the supermarket to stock up on 6 packs.

Can. Cinnamon, pear, and malt aroma. Dark golden yellow with large off white head. Lightly sweet cinnamon, pear, wheat malt, and straw flavor. Light body. Not horrible but not a fan of a spicy shandy.

Bot. Mouth watering cranberry aroma, not artificial. Almost clear pale. Very good initial impressions, very fresh and fruit like without too much sugar. Again, not artificial; lots of fruit but its not quite a fru-fru-fruity beer like so many artificial tasting versions. Palate is quite refreshing with its cutting co2. Good job at a radler. No real impressions of alky, simple fruit covers it well. Ginger? What ginger? Well, maybe just a hint if you look for it.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 1/18/2016. Pours crystal clear bright golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, corn, white bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, corn, white bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, corn, white bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish. Good robustness and balance of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast ester notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly grainy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a good pale adjunct lager style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
