Leinenkugels Original

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Pale Lager
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

An ordinary average beer from a fine company. Availability in my area is limited, but this was a nice American lager comparable to Yuengling and Sam Adams in quality, but with less flavor.

This is your bare bones Leinies. It is a great outdoor beer. Weather you are cleaning out your garage or sitting by the campfire this will do the trick. A good beer as long as you dont try to study it to much. Forget the glass. It is a beer for drinking right from the bottle.

You have got to be kidding me. Pale yellow, not even bright enough to be called straw-colored; tiny, fizzy head. Aroma of apple juice and corn syrup. Flavor is watery and sugary, however I do think I detect trace amounts of hops in the finish. Thin yet sticky. Barely better than Budweiser, but my opinion of this is even worse than that of Budweiser because Bud’s not so stuck up as to think it’s worth $6.49 a sixer.

For a big run lager, this is quite good. Refeshing and crisp, a little too sweet, good malt flavor, but a little too light. Not quite enough hops. Bolder than a typical big run lager.

Leinie’s Original is the best yard beer I can imagine. Based on a complex algorithm I cannot explain here, it’s taste per yen is out of this world. It’s actually cheaper than other Miller macroswill, which is amazing considering how much better this beer is than the rest of its competition. It pours a yellow/light gold with a very grainy aroma. It’s considerably full bodied for its kind. Original brings to mind a Sam Adams Boston Lager, which may seem like blasphemy to some. For less than $7 a 12er, you can do a lot worse.

For a mass produced plae lager this is a very good effort. It has a crisp flavor with notes of vanilla and malt.

A fairly average pale lager. Perhaps a little more malty sweet then most mega brewed lagers. Not bad from the bottle and finishes crisp and clean. A good picnic brew me thinks.

Light clear gold with a soapy white head. Bubbly. Standar macro odor, maybe a bit stronger than most. Flavor is similar, sweet malt with light hops that’s just a bit more distinct than most macros. Watery and highly carbonated. Pretty standard macro that’s a hint better than Miller or Bud products.
