Leinenkugels Red

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

Clear reddish appearance, good head formation. Rich malty aroma. Smooth palate, sweet, malty, creamy. Light caramel, very mildly toasted, finishes sweet and smooth.

Bottle. Amber-red beer with a fairly decent head and some lacing. Substantial mouthfeel for an American "red" lager. Has a sweet malty aroma, pretty clean. Carmamelly malt flavors with some hop spiciness present. Seems a little young, like it neede to lager more for the flavors to blend and mellow. Mixed 50/50 with an Amber Light, it turned into a very good swiller. Try this, I swear it works.

About what you would expect from a "red" beer.....malts were a bit on the sweet side, fruity on the front end, bitter in the back with a subtle hoppiness. Mouthfeel was too much on the syruppy side....alright I guess.

Bottle from Kevin42. Good color, small head. Taste is sweet and spicy. First taste notes are melon and corriander. Secondary notes of malt and citrus come through. Not a bad beer at all. Complex yet simple. Nice, but not mind blowing.

bottle. pours an amber with a dark white head. aroma is an inviting sugar smell. has a rough hoppy taste that is similar to a grapefruit. this is a little overdone. but it is still the best leinie i’ve had. finish is with a bit more malt. butr is still a little too acidic. nice beer overall.

I have been aware of this brewery since I was a child due to some of their paraphernalia in my father’s bar. This was the first chance that I had to actually try the beer - so I had been curious for quite some time. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the beer poured a nice red-amber color with a small tan head. The aroma while faint was pleasantly malty. The flavor was crisp and light with definite malty undertones. There was a bit of an off sour tang on the aftertaste. It was a little yeasty and bready. Not bad really. A decent quaffable red.

Very good red beer. Sweet tasting, reminiscent of caramel, but there seems to be something toasted in there too. I better have another to figure it out.

Ruby in color with very little head. Very smooth beer with little kick. It has enough flavor to be enjoyable, but is not very complex. A sweeter beer with no real distinct tastes.
