Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss Beer Review
Following my good experience with Sam Adam’s Cherry Wheat review, I was eager to try another beer with adjuncts. Weiss beer, (which is pronounced “vice”) means “wheat” in German. This wheat beer is a bit lighter, brewed with cluster hops, and just a touch of honey. Despite that, Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss beer is not what most people expect it to be.
Upon twisting off the top, I catch the aroma of grain and lemon. While slowly pouring it into my weisen glass, I notice it’s nice clear, gold color with just a finger of head that recedes quickly with no lace. Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss beer is a thin and lighter bodied beverage. With every sip, there is lively carbonation, a nice wheat flavor, some light malt flavor, and almost no hops or bitters. The finish is slightly sweet and crisp, with little to no honey flavor.
Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss beer is quite easy to drink and would go very well with seafood or a spicy dish. I recommend Leinenkugel’s Honey Weiss. I picked up a 12-pack for $11.89.

Honey weiss is awesome. Their Sunset Wheat is also great and tastes like fruity pebbles!

It is nice to see that the consumerscorner.net has picked up speed on beer reviews. Currently, as a hard liquor drinker I love to see reviews of my previous hobby, a beer enthusiast (after many years of dragging my feet). Keep it up blogmaster and associate writer! Cheers.
