Leinenkugels Northwoods Lager

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

Pours a clear golden with a puffy white head. Mildly sweet aroma has some lager yeast profile to it. Nice, crisp malty body has a good hoppy balance. Finishes smooth and bittersweet. One of the more clean and fresher tasting midwestern lagers I've had.

This is a respectable lager, far superior to those of Leinie’s owner, SABMiller. Golden bodied with a creamy head that laces well, it’s got a sweet bread malt aroma with a suggested hop bitterness. The flavor is sweet malt with a hint of honey and a light, grassy hop finish.

Dark golden color, with a moderate light cream colored head. Fairly malty and think when cooler. When it warms, there is a very bitter alcohol finish. Drink this one cold for best flavors.

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.

Canned, on an innertube at the lake at my uncle's family reunion, July 83. Made the mistake of drinking this on its own, still quite sober, rather than with brats & burgers and drunk. Nonetheless this is a passable American lager with a hint of "darkness" (mostly in color) or "richness" (it's a bit more expensive than Lite) so you know it's a Leinies. Sellouts.

A very nicely made light lager. Light aroma of carrots and a little bit of spice. The flavor is light iceberg lettuce with some carrots thrown in with some honey. A pretty nice macro lager.

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.
