Pours from 12 oz bottle a pretty basic light amber orange with a finger of puffy off white head. Some metallic malt aroma and grassy hops with a small hint of caramel. Flavour is crisp, mainly malty, and has a hint of hops and a touch of fruity sweetness. Texture is tingly and rough, and leaves a malty and slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall decent, session-able beer.

Dec 29, 2009 Having tasted other Leinenkugel beers, I figured this one would be good, but nothing overly special. Happy to say I was wrong!
Nice amber color as promised, nice creamy head that stays to the bottom of the glass. All kinds of hops aroma in the nose - orange, grass, spice - with a nice balance of malt as well. Noble hops dominate the sense of smell here.
Nice body, maybe a tad too heavy, but still good. Very good malt flavor, with hints of baked bread, raisins, and caramel. Really good hop flavor, perhaps a bit too citrusy. While Noble hops come through in the aroma, it is clearly Cascade hops that take over the hop flavor.
Overall is somewhat similar in taste to Sam Adams. By all means, this is a very good effort, and if you like Sam Adams Boston Lager, or Brooklyn Lager, by all means, give this one a try!

Dec 1, 2009 Updated: Dec 2, 2009Clear golden orange with a firm white head. Sweet malty aroma. Surprising hops in the flavor. A bit of citrus, orange, full malts, and biscuit. Bubbly mouth that works for this one. Great? No. Surprisingly enjoyable? Yes.
