Leinenkugels Northwoods Lager

Formerly brewed at Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange brown colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was malty and mild dirty socks. The semi-thick crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a malt dough base that came through in its finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt and dough.

A nice mix of hops and grain in the aroma, this light golden lager looks good. The flavor is just a bit too sweet, but this one is very smooth and drinkable. Not complex, not a beer to savor, this one is just crisp refreshing sturdy American lager. No bad aftertaste, finish is smooth but not memorable.

Aroma has some low hints of malt but overall a grainy aroma is most prevalent. The color is golden with a small white head of very short duration. The taste has some hop but overall is grainy.

Leinenkugel’s Northwoods is a more flavorful lager. It looks and smells like a normal American lager (read: macro) but has a stronger lager flavor. That is, it’s grassy and grainy smelling. It’s drinkable, but I usually pass when I see it.

A true northwoods flavor, whatever that means though. Nothin to wild about this brew, but i typically will buy a lienie tackle box a few times a year, and these mix in just fine. Quite smooth, good color and tasty going down

interesting, but one i could do without having again. yellowish brown color, no memorable aroma, the description of smooth rich flavor is not what you really get

Light brown, caramel yellow with short-lived white head. Looks appetizing. Smell is faint macro, sweet malt. Taste is likewise quite sweet and light. Doesn’t live up to its appearance. Perhaps, a notch better than your run-of-the-mill macro lager, but nothing more. I could take it or leave it.

Pours a dark golden with average white head. Aroma is of grains, hops and malt. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a developing hoppiness. Crisp finish, but nothing to exceptional.
