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.

Hazy lemon yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of clove & nutmeg - basically pumpkin pie spice. The flavor is sweet, rather lemony, nothing like the aroma. thin and watery - what might be refreshing in July. Soda like.

At my company party: pours golden with white head. Weak aroma. Easy drinking. Ever so slightly sweet. What rye? Plus if you got rue doesn’t it make it not a kolsch? Oh well. This jawn was meh.

Clear light gold with a white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet, but caramel sweet instead of malty sweet. No hops. Thin, poor representative of an O’fest most ways you judge it.

12 oz. can gifted by a buddy because he knew I would never buy this. Unclear yellow appearance, thin head. Aroma is light lemons, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. Flavor is lemons, all spice, ginger and nutmeg. Yet, it doesn’t say to me lemonade either, more wheat beer based. Thin wheaty texture with a mild citrus tartness underneath the spice. Not as awful as I was expecting but I’m sure not running out to buy any.

Ginger, honey grahams, butter, pumpkin, cinnamon nose. Hazy amber, thick head. Lemony and light, with subtle graham cracker and ginger notes. Light body, soft. Complex but easily sessionable. Pretty well executed for what this beer is supposed to be. Surprisingly nice.

Many thanks to Chris for this bottle! The beer starts nice floral hoppy with a very dry body and lots of pine. Hints of sweetness left, full bodied with lots of fresh floral hops. Pine, resin, malt. The aftertaste is long with a nice intense floral bitterness. Round and great!

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a matte black color with a large foamy orange-brown head that left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet, malty and toasty with notes of molasses, cocoa powder and soy sauce. The flavor was sweet and malty with molasses, cherry, fig, chickory, cocoa powder and soy sauce. Medium length finish. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Solid.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/31/2015. Pours hazy bright golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, herbal, grass, and light pepper. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, herbal, grass, and light pepper. Minimal herbal/spicy bitterness and light fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemonade, lemon peel, wheat, cracker, light honey, light herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and robustness of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice lemonade shandy style. All around good balance and robustness of lemonade, pale malt, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle. Woody toffee malt and straw aroma. Amber with giant light tan head. Sweet toffee malt and lightly bitter oak/hay flavor. Medium body. Not bad for a Vienna.
