COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The leaves - at the height of their color, but before the inevitable fall. And the apples - ripe for the picking, and the absolute peak of their flavor. It's this moment that you'll find captured in our new Leinenkugel's Apple Spice. We take the fresh, delicious taste of real apples - as crisp as the first bite off the tree - and add just a touch of cinnamon for a hint of spice. The result is a mouthwatering blend that's perfect for sharing with friends. It's flavor to the core. We use over 2000 pounds of apples in every brew.

Hangover (980) - Atlanta, Alabama, USA - JAN 2, 2008
Ummm... clear golden pour, no visible carbonation or head. Green apple aroma. Ciderish taste, not all that sweet, some cinnamon. Bit funky on the back end, but it is what it is.

37steel (186) - St. Charles, Illinois, USA - JAN 2, 2008
12 oz bottle. People like to rag on Leinie’s since they are owned by Miller, but they make pretty good "intro" beers. This pours a bright light yellow with a thin white head. Spicy apple aromas which are backed up by the flavor. A little too sweet, but the cinnamon flavors help. Its actually not that bad.

shrubber85 (5972) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - DEC 30, 2007
Bottle. Candied apple and malt aroma. Pale yellow color with small head. Sweet cinnamon and apple malt flavor. Tastes like spiced cider so delivers what it claims.

popephred (249) - Plainfield, Illinois, USA - DEC 25, 2007
Golden, enriched urine yellow with rocky white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma! Let me tell you about the aroma... Skunky with an apple cinnamon flavor, almost as if Pepe le Pew regurgitated a box full of Apple Jacks. The beer is acidic with a bit of sweetness. The aftertaste is a very dry apple core. Carbonaion is very crisp, like a hard cider, which is nice. Overall, if Leinenkugel wanted to make a hard cider, why didn’t just do it instead of this mish-mash of styles.

jgentgesdo (645) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - DEC 24, 2007
Pours clear orange/yellow with a very small, fizzy white head. Nose is carbonation, apple, and cinnamon. Flavor of cinnamon and very strong apple... almost an apple cider. Very easy to drink. Actually pretty fun.

JJClark (550) - Roscoe, Illinois, USA - DEC 24, 2007
Bottle. Pours a light amber color with almost no head at all. Aroma of apples and spices like a cider. Plenty of carbonation. Has the flavor of spices, cider. Big apple taste. No bad and easy to drink but one was all I wanted.

(Body - Clarity) isClear - sparkling, normal, flat. (Body) light-medium. This is great winter beer near the fire. IF you enjoy ciders and want to try something different, go for this. Hey, it only comes once a year.
