Steinbier Original
Brauerei Leikeim

Pours cloudy orangish amber with a white head. Minimal lacing, generous leggings when swirled. Aroma is roasted malt, dark bread, corn and European hops. Flavor follows the nose, a tad sweet. Feel is medium bodied and adequately carbonated. Overall, decent enough, not familiar enough with the style.

The pour is dark orange with a fair amount of carbonation. The taste is bready malts, corn, & some earthy herbal notes to balance things out. Cheers! B-

Pours a cloudy brown orange, brief 1" head with little retention or lacing; clarifies a bit as it settles out. Nose is malt, dark fruit, brown bread, spiced rye crackers, a bit sweet altogether. Taste is pretty true with plenty of brown bread, stewed fruit, spiced holiday bread throughout. A bit of spicy hop as well and doesn't become too sweet. Feel has some heft with light but crisp carbonation. Glad to have tried it, but probably won't revisit.

Copenhagen 2/8 2017. 50 cl bottle from Kvickly. Swing cap. Some flames on the label to ensure that I understand that heated stones has been used to acheive the right temperature. "Geschaffen durch Feuer und Stein".

Pours hazy orange with white head. Settles as thin layer just covering the surface of the beer. Very moderate lacing.

Aroma is kind of bland. Refrigerated vegetables, caramel, nuts and slightly sugary.

Medium strong carbonation and medium thick palate.

Flavor is sweet followed by light bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet burnt caramel.

I am not too crazy about the smell - but it has a nice flavor and is fairly easy to drink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forza hazy, rustic orange with a one finger, creamy head.
A nice nose of malt caramel, dough and sweetness. Also a little bit a hop.
Taste follows the nose in which this Oktoberfest is a sweet caramel one. Just a little bit of hop to give it some balance makes this a good one.
A big, creamy mouth feel.
This one better than the average.

 

Crystal clear orangey yellow with a thin white cap. Doughy malts, slight corn sweetness, toast and a touch of grassiness in the nose. Now this is pretty malty in the taste, but honestly it works for me, still has plenty of that expressive yeast, grass, bread, and a touch of caramel. Very light body, too light, but stays out of the watery zone, has some yeast textures too. Actually really enjoyed this, pair with a kraut heavy dish. The wife liked it

Refreshing, malty lager.
Welcome amber Looks in a usually pale/blonde style. I don't drink lagers to Smell them, but Steinbier Original Smells above average. Tastes are balanced; sweet malt salivates and proper use of hops dries that out. Medium bodied, suitable bubbles.

My first from Leikeim, so I went on their website. They seem to export, but apparently not much to the Midwest. Leikeim's site immediately knew I spoke no German and am bad at finding "English" buttons, so I could read through it quickly. Not too far from the Czech border, Leikeim brews in the lager tradition and has done a good job for several generations. I'm unlikely to visit them in this life, but if I'm good for the rest of it.... they might be on my Bucket List for the next life.

Cloudy amber, thin white head, good lace
Smells kinda like a sticky bun minus the cinnamon.
Tastes like the smell, a bit of orange, minimal bitterness.
Light bodied, clean, a little low on carbonation
Interesting and pretty good.

 

Pours a amber tan with a creamy, thick cap of foam. Somewhat muted, musty aroma, with hints of candied orange. This beer has a real creamy body with a smooth carbonation profile. On the sweetish side of things.
