Leinenkugels Berry Weiss

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

A very sweet yet delicious beer. More on the girly side so it must be consumed in private if a male. Too thick and syrupy to have more than 2 at a time.

This is one of Leinies best brews. Unfortunately the wrong crowd is tasting it. This is beer that is directed to the female drinker. With its redish/purple hue and fruity smell it tends to be more of a summer drink. All I know is I no longer have to drive 800 miles to get it for my wife..

Does it need to be said? Yuck. Never try to handle more than one Leinie’s a day. Your tastebuds will hate you for weeks afterward.

Bottle. C’mon just because its fruity doesn’t mean its bad - in fact this beer is quite tasty. Pink pour with a pinkish head that diminishes fairly quickly. Light refreshing taste - very fruity. Wonderful for sitting on the porch and drinking a few without falling asleep from the high alcohol content.

Pink coloured body with a nice size frothy head. Potent aroma of strawberries, wheat, yeast, malt, and raspberries. Light-medium-bodied; super sweet flavors of strawberries and raspberries up front fading to a malty wheaty flavor. Aftertaste shows more sweetness on the palette all with lingering malt on the backend. Overall, a good and sweet fruit beer, more like a lambic but good to try. I sampled this 12 oz bottle purchased from Olivers Beverage in Albany, NY on 21-April-2007 on the Eastern Shore in VA.

Fruit in my beer? Leinie’s Berry Weiss? If it’s brewed in Wisconsin I’ll try it at least once. Pours a goldish red brew with a violet/white head. Aroma of Koolaid raspberry (oh yeah..), then some light wheat malt, and then something like a stale Vicks Cherry NyQuil. Taste is a light berry fruit with some dry wheat aftertaste. Finish is sweet and a bit watery. Some people may like this. It’s not one I want to run down to the beer depot at the 11th hour to purchase for the weekend.

Bottle - No head to speak of. Redish color that reminds me of a dark pink lemonade. Definately a berry smell. Kind of reminds you of drinking a wine cooler. Having one is ok, but you wouldn’t consider another. You really get the berry flavor which isn’t bad, its just that it’s hard for me to call this a beer. Once in a while in the summer a berry beer is fine, but this is just a litle too much berry

Too fruity too drink too much of without a bad taste in the mouth. Hard too call real beer with all the fruit.
