| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Wow this is garbage. Pours an amber color. With a medium sized head that rapidly shrinks. Notes of burnt toast, corn husks, cereal, and a little bit of metal. Forgettable beer with offensive astringent finish. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 5, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a light amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of grains and sweet caramel malts. Crisp and sweet taste includes mostly malt but also some light hopping towards the finish. A little thin, but overall not a bad beer. bsp77 (202), Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Poured into 4oz sample glass, but I asked for a second pour to make a more proper 8oz review. Plus I was not sampling other beers, so no sample fatigue. Thanks Applebee’s!
Very light amber with nice head and slight lacing.
Somewhat sweet aroma with notes of caramel and toasted malts.
Biscuit and caramel malts balanced by citrusy hops, with light bitterness at the finish. Nice balance overall.
Moderate carbonation with a light to medium body. Finishes slightly dry.
This would be a very respectable everyday lager. Perhaps the best Leinie’s I have had.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2009 A dry-ish malt aroma with some dessert notes, smells like a marzen crossed with a bit of brown ale. Clear, medium brown/tan/orange, good label. Drinkable, crackery, some fruit notes. A tad tangy and not aggressively hopped. Session weight, tannic finish. Winn Dixie.

This beer is not amber and it is not classic. Pours gold with a medium white head. Has a vegetable aroma. Medium maltiness. Not very good. topherh (900), Kearney, Missouri, USA
