Beer of the Week: Leinenkugel's Original Beer

Beer score: 5.9

Company: Leinenkugel's
ABV: 4.7
IBU: 17

In the past I've seen this beer marketed as "Leinenkugel's Original Lager," but it's the same beer.

Over the years (okay, okay ... decades ... yeah, I'm old), I've found Leinenkugel's to have some of the better mass-marketed beers in the U.S.

This one is a good drinking brew for snobs and non-snobs alike.

Pours a nice golden color with hints of orange in the coloring. Gives off faint scents of honey and caramel.

Not sweet, but the bitterness isn't overpowering. Just a tad too much carbonation for my liking, but not enough to hurt the overall quality. There's maybe a little corn or honey in the flavoring.
