2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a nice red color with off white head. Aroma catches lightly hopped spiciness and malt. Flavor is decent, but tends to be really hurt by an odd/off flavor. I get a metallic undertone. Palate is decent, but slightly lacking. Overall I’d drink this over some other beers.... but I’d struggle to name but a hand full of beers Linenkugel Red is better than. Not a bad beer, just a boring one, add in the slightly overcarbed mouthfeel and off flavor.... well you get the picture, I’ll try another just to make sure this wasn’t a bad bottle.

12oz bottle - pours clear amber with little off-white head. Nose is caramel with grassy hops. Flavor adds toastiness. Taste is a little sweet and faintly bitter. Metallic aftertaste. flat but could be better is served quite cold.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle. Amber color with real thin white head. No retention. Very straight forward nose and taste. Grain, light malt and a light generic hop crispness. Better then Bud, Miller or Coors but nothing to seek out.

Thin, lager-like mouthfeel. Pretty light in taste and easy to drink. Mouthfeel was especially thin, though.

Bottle. This was my "gateway" beer, that pulled me out of the mass produced crap. I remember it fondly, unfortunately my recent tasting doesn’t back up that memory. Pours deep amber-red with a medium fine head. Malty aroma and flavor, nothing special about it at all. Mildly unpleasant aftertaste.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark amber with about 2 fingers of off-white head. Aroma of caramel, grains and fruitcake. Taste is light bitter. Caramel, fruit and a little citrus hops. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Much better than I was expecting for Leinie.

Meh. Dark reddish pour, mostly white head. Caramel malt and spent hops, some grainy notes in the nose. Flavor is sweet/hoppy and boring as hell.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Originally reviewed: 12/23/11. Was up in WI for the holidays this last week, and went out for a burger with my brothers, and wanted something light and crisp. Went with this.
Poured into a pint glass. Pours an unsurprising copper red with a thin beige head on top. Decent lace left behind. The nose is mild with slight hop scent, but mostly sweet malts and breads. Good clean mouthfeel. Crisp with decent carbonation. A nice sweet lager here. Light toffee, fresh bread, little bit of graham cracker. Nice beer. Nothing earth-shattering, but a beer I wouldn’t turn down.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Taste is fruit, pepper, malt and red chilies. Actually, not a bad beer. Smooth and easy drinking.
