Leinenkugels Original

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

On tap at The Lion's Tap (so called best burger in the Twin Cities). The rather small quantity served is really carbonated, light, rather bland, but better than BMC. It is what it is, and it washes down a greasy burger as it is cold and wet.

This is a good solid American beer. It's cheap and has a much better taste than macrobrews of the same style. Not a whole lot to it, but decent.

The northwoods lager is better, but still this is a pretty damn good beer. I wish that America was representing Leinenkugel the way that they do with Budweiser and Bud Light.

Always seems to have a weird aftertaste that reminds me of cheese. I also think it shares some flavor with Dos Equis Amber. Still pretty good for a cheap beer. ($10 for a case)

Clear yellow gold. Slightly carbonated, no head. Floral, musty, sweet smell. Tiny bit of skunk, smooth and a little sweeter than most other lagers. Tinny. Better than the last time I had it. A little watery and not bitter enough.

Extremely clear yellow. smokey (as in cigarettes), corn, yeast. Light body, too much carbonation, and close to nose flavor. Just some residual corn and lageresque flavors in the finish.

Definitely a beer that I was not impressed with as it lacks character and there was not much going on with it.It poured a medium white creamy head with fine sized bubbles that mostly dissipated.The body was cloudy with a lot of lively carbonation.The hue was gold and there was very little lacing.The nose was hoppy and slightly sweet with a slightly bitter flavor.The mouthfeel was tingly and light bodied.

One of the best American standards. It had a mild spicy hop aroma, was faintly sweet up front, crisp, well balanced with a dry, lightly hoppy finish. Those who are leery of Millers involvment with this brewer need not worry.
