Nov 23, 2002 Had a few of these in bottles. Nose of flowers, perfume, and lightly toasted malt. Pours a medium orange. The thick creamy off-white head is mostly lasting with good lacing. The flavor is bland but balanced with a sweet start and an average bready finish. The medium creamy body is fizzy and finishes clean and smooth. I have to disagree with the Ratebeer on this one, this is not a representative of the American Standard style IMO. I would classify this as a pure lager.

Nov 12, 2002 Updated: Jul 20, 2003I don't care if Leinie is made by Miller. This is one of the best American-style lagers you can get. The color in the picture here is misleading. The actually beer is dark golden with a slighly reddish hue. The head is typical for a lager--initially foamy and white but fading soon after pouring. Leaves little peices of lace on the edge of the glass. This is a really flavorful lager with a slight bitterness from the hops and a citrusy nose. I like this a little bit warmer than I would most other American lagers but still cooler than I'd drink ales or darker lagers.

Nov 6, 2002 The taste of this beer is not that great. The beer is smooth but thats about all it’s got going for it.

Oct 23, 2002 nice omelette yellow; creamy though unmotivated head. light aroma, grassy, faint dried meadow flowers, and clean--a little too clean since i also picked up just a slight soapy note. good carbonation, lightly sweet, and medium bodied. flavor continues to swell with reasonable bitterness. it’s a tasty guzzler for the money; the hardest thing to swallow is the phillip morris factor, which does cause a momentary spasmodic reaction of revulsion, but if we can work through that, it’s a decent main-stream lager.

Oct 4, 2002 A decent lager for warm summer night. Better than the regular Leinenkugels. Worth trying if in the central US.

Sep 30, 2002 Standard rubbery-hoppy lager aroma. Small, off-white head on golden-amber beer. Watery body with medium-high fizz. Bland taste - it was alright but just no oomph. A little bitter with some adjuncty off-flavors. Mild hops and little malt. Not horrible but I wouldn’t drink again.

Sep 19, 2002 Certainly better than Original. It is a good lager and a good all-around beer. Should appeal to most drinkers and is easy to knock back.
