Bottled. Citrus aroma. Copper body with modest head. Slightly spicy but its true appeal is an orange and cherry flavor that finishes smoothly. Drinkable summer beer but lacks complexity and certainly doesn’t have the spirit of a true beer.

Very light golden beer with a white head that usually pours to a length of 1 finger. Aroma is mainly fruity. The taste s reminiscent of Trix cereal, which is not bad however it lacks the taste of a true beer. Drinkability is very good due to its smooth and non-abrasive taste.

On tap pours a hazy yellow/orange flavor. With a fruity aroma. Strong citrus and orange flavors, with hints of spice. Feels like a summer beer.

Poured with a orange amber color with a white head that disipated quickly. Initially had a medicinal flavor to it. The slight citrus flavor reminded me a little of Blue Moon which I like so I added an orange slice to improve the taste. The orange slice does help but not enough to want to buy this beer again.

12 oz bottle. Cloudy yellow pour, small white head that faded quickly. An overpowering artificial, mediinal, citrusy taste. Tasted like a beer based wine cooler. Awful

I’ve leinenkugels red before and was hoping for the best. Only after tasting did I notice the label says "beer with natural flavors". Unnatural is more like it. The taste reminds me of an enhanced salsa I recently had - very artificial lime and blueberry flavors. I almost spit it out, but it is BEER after all so I toughed it out and after half a bottle I’ve decided to cut it with some bud lite and see if that will allow me to choke down the 6 pack (that will turn into a 12 pack after adding the bud.... Yuck.

Very enjoyable and refreshing. Poured from the bottle an opaque orange-gold with a creamy off white head. Strong sweet-citrus aroma. Carbonation seemed just right, and drank very easily. Not as light as you might expect. While there’s a strong sense of artificial and contrived, it’s really quite tasty -- and should be very good this summer next to the barbecue pit.
