Leinenkugels Honey Weiss Bier

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Leinie’s Honey Weiss is what it is, an average American wheat beer. Everything about it is pretty unimpressive. The main thing I can say to its credit is that the honey aspect is nicely done. It’s not at all a cloying, sugary honey flavor. The beer is very light gold/yellow in appearance, without much head to speak of. It’s fairly smooth tasting, with grass being the prevalent flavor on my tongue. I always seem to get a headache after drinking one, but it’s probably a very good thirst-quencher on a hot summer afternoon. A good yard beer.

Clear golden color with a decent white head. Nose is malty and slight citrus. Body is on the low side of medium with active carbonation. The flavor is light malt and grain. Not much bitterness really, just a slight dry, crispness at the finish. Not bad at all, just nothing outstanding.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Malty nose with a touch of honey. Medium body with pilsener malts and a discreet, underlying bitterness. Rather soft mouthfeel. Extremely subdued bitterness. 050406

EVERYBODY drinks this stuff in the Twin Cities area now, its on tap everywhere, and tons of ladies like it. I could detect absolutley no honey flavor at all, just tastes like a typicall brew, usually served with a lemon to add flavor, which is nevere a good sign. I always drink this at the pub over any Miller or Bud products for sure...

Not a bad wheat beer. I bought a sampler case of 24 at Sam’s Club. A little too light-bodied for my taste. I expected a more hearty beer and I got a light-medium bodied brew. The head was weaker than I expected with bitter aftertaste. Not real bad, but not anything real special, either.

Bottle poured a clear gold with a large lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, honey and faint citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, some sweetness and a hint of citrus with a crisp clean finish.

A super light beer in flavor and appearance. The honey "ness" add some crispness that helps the beer - mostly in scent.

I’m not a real Weiss beer fan, and this beer sure as hell didn’t convince me otherwise. Yellowish-red appearance with a nice head was about all it really had going for it. Not a bad tasting beer, but just not anything that made it special. Most likely won’t be drinking this again, since there are way too many beers that are so much better.
