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.

Who knew that Leiney was going to start brewing an alcopop? This brew isn’t actually disgusting, but it isn’t beer either. It takes like a hard cider that someone blended with a bit of honey and just the merest hint of beer. By the way: Who the hell is Bhay99 and what’s wrong with his tastebuds?

Love this beer. Great apple taste with a cinnamon spice aftertaste. Wish this was a year round offering

I’ve got mixed feelings about this one. Nice and cold it is a great brew. Not as good as it warms. Nothing spectacular as fas as appearance. Pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is all apples and spice...cinnamon and maybe nutmeg. The taste is actually very good when it’s ice cold. Crisp and sweet, but not overly so. Sort of like a hard cider. Aftertaste is a bit malty and spicy. A pretty good seasonal beer.

12 oz bottle thanks to Megan. Pours a clear yellow fizz with a white head. Nose is alright if you like that sort of thing. Apple cidery with fall spices like pumpkin bread and pepper. The flavor is the sweeter version of the nose. Sugary watery apple cider, cinnamon, pumpkin spice. And this tangy citrussy funky after flavor that keeps getting worse as it warms. That’s a drainpour. In fact I drain poured a lot of bottles at the end of the night when there were so many left surprisingly unfinished on the counter.

Very interesting brew for Leinie’s. Nice scent, small head, very sweet, but flavorful. My rating is a little biased because I am not huge on sweet beers. Similar to Woodchuck, just not as smooth. Good is you are looking for a change of pace.

Had this beer on 2/5/2006. Aroma can be smelt as soon as you open it, with a fresh apple scent and a slight wine like scent. Color is a pale yellow with a slight haze. Carbonation is good with a thin tight head. Taste is wine like. Starting with a light body it goes down with a smooth fizzy feel then has a crisp feel that is a bit like apple juice. Finish come on sweet with a mild apple flavor and finishes with a dry wine like feel that has just a hint of bitterness to it. Reminds me a bit of a wine cooler only a bit more beer like.

I call this beer my "One Hit Wonder" because it may be my most favorite beer but I can only drink one at a sitting. I love this beer very much so and I can’t help but associate this beer with a Green Bay Packer game. Well done!

This beer screams "love me once." As in, drink one, and then the sweetness and cider taste deter you from drinking more. I drank it cold from a bottle.
