Our Tastes-- Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark Lager


After a rather "sick" month we continue with a taster of the Leinenkugel's Adventure Pack, that humps the Creamy Dark Lager, Red Lager, Honey Weiss and Sunset Wheat. It pours a foamy light brown head that disspiates quickly with a flat slightly yeasty aroma. Brewed by "73 people in Chippewa Falls, WI who care". Brewing since 1876 (5 generations) it is the 7th oldest brewery in America. This is the most award winning brew by the Leinie family and with the color I thought it to be a more heavy beer but it is a crisp nutty brown. Made with Cascade, Cluster and Mt. Hood hops it sits at 4.9%abv. Site says mix it with a Berry Weiss to make a "Black Bear" or Apple Spice for a "Creamy Apple".
