Leinenkugel's Original

Leinenkugel's Brewing Company is from  Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.  They began brewing in 1867. Leinenkugel's has been owned by Miller for some time now. This is their 4.7% ABV original Chippewa Pride lager.

The beer pours a clear yellow golden in color. There is an inch of white head, not long lasting. The aroma is golden grain, toasted, lightly sweet, a touch grassy, a touch of straw, with a bit of lager funk. The taste follows the aromas. The finish is very lightly bitter. This is a light, clean tasting American lager, with good, albeit light, flavors. The beer drinks easy, well carbonated, but not overly so. This is a classic, solid, American adjunct lager.
