Just not that impressed to say the least. Couldn’t really pick up any distinctive aromas and the pour left nothing more than a run-of-the-mill red lager and a off-white head. Flavor was sparingly malty without much substance. Would not be my first Red choice.

Pours well red with a decent off white head. Very little in the way of aroma. Flavor is light malts and a bit of bitterness. Easy to drink.

12 oz bottle from the variety pack in the girlfriend’s mother’s basement fridge that I put there. Pours a nice amber hue, largely transparent, with a moderate white head that dissipates to a smaller amount. Aromas are malty, subtle, crisp, with maybe a touch of spice. Taste starts a touch bitter, moving to some nice bready maltiness and a touch of spice. Body is fairly light with a nice bitterness, sessionable, well built Leinies brew. A decent alternative that is well appreciated when all you have is macro yellow lagers staring you in the face.

This was actually a sought after beer when I was in college in the Midwest in the 80s. Of course, we usually drank PBR or Red White and Blue. This is a notch up from those. Barely.

Bottle to glass. Malty with a bit of bite. Kinda falls flat. Color a nice red

Nice deep, dark red color. Nice foamy head. not much in the way of an aroma. Flavor is that of a typical lager -not bad but not great either.

12oz bottle-pours a big rich off white head and copper color. Aroma is yeasty, grain. Taste is not good, wet cardboard, some aspirin. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.

Not bad. Pours dark, with a decent malt profile. Taste is smooth and medium bodied. Slight nutty notes on the aftertaste. Perfectly acceptable session brew.
