Leinenkugels Red

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

Red/amber with small head. Malt aroma. Fairly sweet malt flavors. Medium bodied. Smooth and "warm", not crisp.

Wisconsin’s best beer made by a small brewry which was bought by Miller several years back. Possibly my favorite American Dark Lager.

More of a dark amber than red in color, this used to be my tap beer of choice in the days before crafted beers started working their way into bars and restaurants. There’s a sweet malty aroma and taste, not too bad, but not too exciting. Very smooth.

I can actually remember times when I was delighted to see this back in the bad old days of beer in the U.S. It has since seemingly disappeared, so I was glad for the chance to re-rate. Light amber, OK head. Little aroma. Sweetish malt flavor, almost artificial, did corn sneak in there? Thin, short finish. Reminds me of the first step downhill that was taken by Killian’s Red.

Red color with a small off-white head. Honey and corn aroma. Honey, bread and corn flavors. Slightly crisp feel.

Amber color with a small beige head. The aroma had some nice sweet corn (but not in a bad way), dough, and a little mint(!). The flavor was better than I expected...sweet bready tones dominated, with some nice herbal tones as well. The feel was crisp and mildly dry. Not bad. Thanks BBB63.

Pretty good american red lager. Decent color and flavor though Point Amber classic is a bit better.

Nothing special here, but cheap enough to buy a bunch. Great for fishing. Not too carbonated, so didn’t make me burp too much on stage. Good stage beer, I guess.
