Leinenkugels Honey Weiss Bier

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

From an old rating note: bottle. yellow color pour with thin white head. bread and lemon in the aroma. light sweetness and grass hops. tasted more like a pale lager.

12fl oz bottle poured into a shaker. Clear gold with two fingers creamy white head. Aroma is soapy with hints of honey and lemon. Flavor is lemon, honey, slight biscuit, some hops. Medium body, average carbonation. Finish is short and lightly bitter, honey flavor lingers a bit longer. This would be a great summer session brew.

(Bottle into pint glass) Poured a nice golden color with a moderate frothy head. Aroma contained notes of citrus and malt, with a very slight hint of honey. Drink was very crisp, but the honey sweetness was not present as advertised. I think this may have looked at honey once, but that was about it. That aside, it was a very refreshing drink with a slight bite at the end. Not recommended for those looking for the sweetness honey implied, but a very good summer standby.

Pours a golden yellow with a frothy white head. Smells of citrus and wheat. Taste includes honey, but it is more citrus dominated, with a bit of malt. Very drinkable beer.

Clear straw-colored B/M/C looking beer. Does have a decent head. Looks like a pale lager with a stubborn head. Mild wheaty base in the smell, but a sweet hint of honey as well. It’s mostly lagerish but with some tweaks. Certainly not unpleasant; underwhelming. Sweetish wheat/lager flavor. Has a nice honey that translates to a slight lemon. Aftertaste actually better than the "taste." The feel is a slightly bubbly lagery feel. Somewhat dry. It’s a light, minor drin. Pleasant enough, though. Good for summer. Goes down easy for sure.

Poured from bottle into Single glass. Bright, clear yellow with very little head. Not too much smell going on here. Light semi-sweet malts, a touch of honey and hops. Light, slightly fruity malts with some honey. Not as sweet as I feared, and finishes crisp. Pretty high carbonation and light body. Nothing special, but not bad, and it certainly is refreshing.

Bottle: Pours a pale gold color with light white fizzy head. The nose is lightly wheaty with a tangy metallic citrusy note. Not really that fresh tasting though. Sweet flavor, some vague bitter honey notes and a zesty pith note in the tail. meh.

12oz bottle. I drank a ton of this stuff in college because the Leinenkugels would always come in and do monthly promotions at ’the bar.’ I won a free Leinenkugels winter jacket too! Pours a clear glowing golden with a finer fizzy white froth. Aroma of honey, melon, vanilla, hibiscus, wax, some toasted wheat. Flavor follows, tastes like a scented candle. Some lemon towards the end.
