Appearance
Cross between a warm reddish brown and a mellow golden amber. Nice head retention with almost two inches of cream-colored foam.
Aroma
Not much hop smell but a balanced malt profile with essences of nuts and fresh bread. If you look hard, you can smell the unmistakable Cascade hops.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Taste
Absolutely perfection in a bottle. The sweetness from the Munich and Caramel malts had me begging for more. The bitterness from the hops, although difficult to smell, is profound in taste.
Mouthfeel
A tad on the lighter side for this style. I was expecting something a little heavier. Easy to drink with an average amount of carbonation.
Overall
My good friend John stopped by the other night and gave this beer to me. I was not at all shocked at how good it was because Leinie has been one of my fav’s for some time now. I wish he would have had more than two because I could have easily downed several more that night. I am just a sucker for Marzen-style beers.
