Poured a nice amber with a big, foamy, tan head that quickly receded to a very thin cap. Left light lacing. Smelled of malt, roasted malt, spices and a touch of caramel. Taste was of malt, lightly caramel, orange (?) and bitter hops. Was light of body, highly carbonated, slightly oily. Finish was long and bitter, very bitter. Too bitter for my taste. I love most of what Leinenkugels brews, but this one definitely will not enter my stein again. Too fizzy, too bitter and too thin for me.

bottle - Pours light red with a medium head and a mild caramel malt aroma. The flavor is dominated by those caramel malts and has a mild hops bite. The body is on the thin side, but overall it’s a decent session brew.

This is a middle of the road beer. It’s not particularly great, but not bad, and pretty good with the right food and on the right day. Nothing to go drinking a lot of though -- it does cause quite the hangover.

This is not a very good beer. Pour was a flat and boring dark amber with no head. Aroma of stale malt and bread. Taste was sharply carbonated to the point that it burned your tonsils (for those who have them) after the swallow. Some burnt malt with a semi dry finish. Not much flavor and not very memorable.

This is a beer I have enjoyed many times before but have never rated. A see-through brownish red with a medium light brown head. The head remains throughout with nice lacing. Like most reds, it has a very pleasant aroma, with hints of toasted malt and very pleasant spices. Very smooth with sweet malt flavors with a hint of toasted grain and caramel. This is one of my favorites in the easy to find beer catagory. I believe it may be rated a little low, but I like reds.

Poured a transparent copper with a medium head and left good lacing. Aromas of lightly roasted malts and spices like clove. Taste of sweet roast malt, light mouthfeel. Aftertaste was kind of earthy but cleaned up quickly. Not too bad, one of their better beers.

a pretty middle of the road dark lager. flavor is there, color is kind of there, everything is there, just nothing excells. worth a try at least.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a deep amber color with a one and a 1/4 finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Has a musty malt and light spice aroma. Flavor is sweet bready malt. A smooth, medium body lager. A decent beer. Thanks Bill and Wendy.
