Leinenkugel’s Original

12 oz can, many thanks to Kevin for the chance to try this American classic. Pour gives lots of typical, American Adjunct Lager classic traits, but the body is a quite strange glassy affair with alarming clarity. As is son often the case the beer...

Big Eddy Russian Imperial Stout

12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is a nice looking one, with all the requisite attributes for the style, plus some really nice alcohol legs. Head and lace are not amazing, but solid. Nose is pretty strong, but mainly in alcohol...

Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss

$1.35 as a 12 oz single from Green's on Ponce, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is an extreme clear solution with a modicum of bubbles. Head is disappointing and lace is non-existent. Nose is typically macro-adjunct like with a boiled vegetal note. Tastes...

Leinenkugel’s Berry Weiss

$1.35 from Green's on Buford as a single. Well, it is what it is, no more and no less so in that respect one cannot be too disappointed. Twist-off cap yields a strangely colored, orange/pinkish body with a light, fizzy head and some very light...

1888 Bock

1888 Bock

12 oz single from Tower on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. 5.2% ABV advertised on the label. Nice pour with a very nice chestnut brown body and a high (if somewhat light, off-white head). Good clarity, some lace and some retention. Bready nose. Malts are...

Leinenkugel’s Fireside Nut Brown

12 oz single from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Winter Warmer?? No it isn't. Frankly this drinks like a maple nut or honey infused brown ale. There were words on the label that said something like "infused with natural flavors" - a bit of a...

Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest

12 oz single, Mac's Downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Simple pour with nice clarity but very little life. Not much head and the retention is just not there. Very light lace. Slightly acidic nose with some sweetness. Some weak malty character and some...

Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy

12 oz single for Mac's, Atlanta, GA, USA as part of the $6.99 mixed sixer. OK, let's be quite clear about the problem here. The original Shandy is made with a mixture of mediocre beer of some desciption (either lager or bitter) and ENGLISH...

Leinenkugel’s Big Butt Doppelbock

12 oz single from Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Now also available in GA in six packs. Good carbonation (lots of fine bubbles) and some small head; a little lacing. Good deep brown color with a slight tawny-red hue. A little alcohol in the...

Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat

From a brewery that I have been underwhelmed with in the past, and a style that is certainly not my favorite, and drinking it at the wrong time of year when it was probably older than was good for it...I wasn't really expecting this to be a very...

Leinenkugel’s Red

Good looking and better than average beer all around. Distinct red tinges to the pour and a decent looking head with some better than expected lacing. This is a pretty malty beer and I expect the name will fool lots of people. Obviously not a "red"...
