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.

Light yellow color, some slight haze. Thick, creamy white macro head. Apples immediately great the nose upon opening the bottle. More apples and cinnamon spice upon closer inspection, plus a sour, fruity vomit character. Tastes of sweet, grainy apples with a bit of spice. Okay... pretty simple, and a little sweet.

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.

Pretty sure this beer was skunked considering I had it last night. Tastes like apple chips or apple cinnamon crisp. Not that great more like a cidar and less like a beer. Would like to try warm.

12oz bottle, cloudy yellow body nose was apple and spice. Dry and no taste of beer ( malt?) This is like a lambic, noy a bad effort. Nice of my father in law to bring home this "new Beer" from a local shop-rite.

Pale honey color with a big cap of coarse white head. Lots of apple aroma, but it’s kind of bland mass-market apple smell. Red Delicious or something similarly sweet and inoffensive. Add a sprinkle of cinamon. Flavor over sweetened apples, to the point of being flabby and sticky. A bit of warm malt does make it into the flavor, so you do know you are drinking beer, albeit, odd, cloying, clumsy beer. Thanks Hezron, for passing on the bottle to me. As far as bashable beers go, it was a fun one.

Light orangish-yellow, slightly hazy, with a frothy white head. Apple cinnamon aroma is rather striking - Granny Smith apples with slightly artificial cinnamon. The apple flavor, however, are quite real, and you can tell. However, there is a sour, almost bile-like character to the aroma that makes my stomach think about flipping upside-down. Some granular cinnamon flavor, apple skins and moderate tartness. This is one of those beers that, after drinking, I still can’t tell if I liked it or not. Very interesting and well worth a try, that is for sure.

Pale yellow with a big white head. Aroma is just like cider with a touch of cinnamon. Flavor of tart apples, cinnamon and bread. Almost like a pastry. I enjoyed it.

12 oz bottle thanks to the fridge. Clear straw color with small white head. Aroma is like cinnamon apples sauce, spice, not unlike a sweet cider. Very sweet apple juice with bitter malt finish, cinnamon, not good, not bad. Big carb, creamy, chalky, medium body. Gets a little strange as it warms up.
