Leinenkugels Classic Amber

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Premium Lager
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Bottled sample. Clear orange in colour with strong carbonation. Aromas are dunkel-like with notes of toffee and minerals. Flavor wise, it’s bready-malt forward, along with a hint of citrus. Dires out fairly well with a mineral, iron-like finish. A bit short and uncomplicated, but overall this isn’t all that bad. The dryness and the citrus were a nice surprise.

Great Average beer pale amber color with practically no white head aroma of apple and caramel floral taste with caramel slight zest in the bitterness which is not overbearing its a easy drinking lager very mild but not watery

This beer has a good aroma, nice appearance, pleasant mouth feel, a mild bitterness, and is fairly flavorful. My overall impression of it is very positive. It is similar to many other mass-produced amber beers.

Bottle. Pours translucent amber with moderate off-white head that quickly subsided. Aroma mellifluous caramel malt, grain, hint of chocolate, pear, fresh apples, herbal hop note. Flavor was lightly sweet grain, subdued malt, hint of chocolate and caramel, apples and an inference of cinnamon, and herbal zesty hops combined with an effervescent carbonation at the end. Palate is generally medium bodied and smooth but finishes with a carbonated bite. Nothing special, I’d rather have a Brooklyn.

MALT BOMB!!! like eating a loaf of bread Pours amber with off white head. aromas of malts, tastes of malts (yeasty biscuit)

Sampled on draft at Johnny’s Wife’s Place in Jeannette PA this beer poured dark orange-caramel color with a small tan head that faded quickly. The aroma was very faint nutty malts and fruity hops. The flavor was bitter, tart and tangy with notes of caramel, biscuit and fruity hops. The middle turned dryish with a yeasty, chewy undertone. The finish was long, tangy and dry with notes of caramel and fruit. Subtle yet surprisingly complex, I found myself liking this one more than I thought I would. Eminently quaffable.

Crystal clear light amber with an overactive large white head that dissipates quickly leaving minor lacing. Aroma of grains, pale malt, mild caramel and minor adjuncts. Taste is caramel up front and caramel on the back end with the mildest of bitter finishes. I see they mention four hops in the description, whoo-hoo, quadruple hops, lol. They don’t really come through at all, except perhaps with that moderate bitterness, must be mostly cluster hops. I like that Leinie is attempting to make craft beer, but it’s nothing more than Miller’s version of Michelob – if that.

12oz bottle–pours a foamy off white head and amber color with effervescence. Aroma is light/medium malt-caramel/peat/bready, some musty fruit, slight spice hops. Taste is light/medium malt-caramel/peat/bready, some musty fruit, secondary copper/spice hops. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.
