Culture Shock
A seasonal to get you through winter
If you've had your fill of the winter warmers out there, or are tired of the delicious and ubiquitous Sam Adams Winter Lager, here's another beer to help you cope till the spring and summer brews start to appear on shelves.
The (say it three times fast) Leinenkugel 1888 Bock.
Had a bottle the other night. The beer has a simple sweetness and a dab of hops that are balanced well with an easy finish - like many lagers. The taste doesn't linger on the palate, and it's not so heavy that you can only stand to have one. The body reminds one of a Shiner Bock from the bottle, but seems a little less carbonated.
And if you prefer your brew out of a glass, it pours with a pretty thick head and a nice copper-ish color.
Like other Leinies, it's fairly inexpensive as a suitable step beyond the cheap-cold-domestics of the world.
