Smells like barley and cleaning fluit with a hint of lemon. Light orange copper color with minimal lacing. Grainy taste with a little spice lemon and barley and a dry unpleasant bite on the tail end. Thanks to Skyview for the bottle!

Wow, can’t believe it. I found one remaining six-pack of Leinies Northwoods at a BP station near Hayward, WI. Last chance to rate this brew before it is gone. Pours a pale golden amber with a small foamy head. Head dissolves fast to a fair lacing. Aroma of a hint of lemon, front yard lawn, a little spice and roasted barley. Hop flavor is a little sweet with a clean cut finish. Sorry to hear that Leinies is retiring this one. I remember when this product was first introduced as Leinenkugel’s Limited back in the late 1980s.

Pours a clear golden orange color with a medium white head. Aroma is of faint floral hops. Taste is slightly floral with grainy and yeast overtones. Not bad but nothing special either.

Pours light yellow with a medium head. Smooth malty character with a bit of a spiced, hoppy quality. Not my favorite beer, but an good beer for the price.

(Bottle) Pours golden with an average sized white head. Decent mouthfeel for the type. Some malty character, but balanced as well. Smooth mouthfeel, with a dry finish. No off flavors, and a pretty decent beer.

Pours with a deeper than usual golden color. The head is white and thin. More attractive than most pale lagers, but that really isn’t saying much, is it? The aroma is yeasty and grainy. This brew is supposed to have been aged longer giving it more of a mellow flavor with less bite and that does come through. Can’t help but feel like I’m drinking what amounts to a souped up Budwesier though.

Bottle. Poured dark clear amber with a large off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate balanced malt and hop aroma. Medium body. Medium balanced flavor with a bittersweet finish of moderate duration.

Bottle. Poured a small white fizzy head that mostly diminished, minimal lacing, carbonation, transparent, and a gold-golden hue. Nose was malty, hoppy and somewhat skunky. Malty, hoppy flavor and somewhat dry in the finish. Mouthfeel was smooth and dry. Light body.
