Leinenkugel line: "Big Eddy"

Big Eddy line has been around for 6+ years. Most are good not great.

 

I've never really had any, but this is far from a new line.

 

The Baltic Porter and Uber Oktoberfest are awesome, and the Imperial IPA is good. The others are fine, but they are a little pricey

 

Not sure where you live in PA, but the Wegmans in Downingtown has the whole line of "Big Eddy"

 

I would try it if it were sold around here.

 

The stout is pretty good. Definitely the best beer from them....I'd skip the Scotch Ale though, not so good.

 

They're all worth a try and good for rounding-out mixed sixers. I pick one up every now and again.

 

Had the stout and it was decent. Too many other stouts that are so much better for the price.

 

I've had the stout, the porter, the imperial IPA and the rye wine. The stout, the rye wine and baltic porter are all good. The imperial IPA I found to be way off

 

I really enjoyed their Ryewine Ale.

Their Baltic Porter and RIS are nice, but for the price there are better takes on the style. The Uber-Oktoberfest was a bit sweet for my liking and I wasn't impressed with their Wee Heavy or IIPA.

 

Having the Imperial Stout now. Stuff needs a fork and a knife to cut through it.

 

the IIPA is a caramel malt bomb and I've had it on bottle and draft for at least the last two years and I didn't care for it. Not sure why I keep giving it a chance.

The Baltic Porter to this day is still the best Porter I've had. The RIS is decent as well, would love to try some of the BA variations but there must not be too much of that going around.

 

We started getting these in SoCal this year. Much better than the regular offerings.

 

Had the IIPA, the Baltic Porter, Über-Oktoberfest, and the Ryewine (last two in the beer fridge right now, last one I had a bottle of earlier today. It's real craft beer - probably not the best you'll ever have (though that is true of almost all craft you drink), but certainly good. I actually liked the IIPA quite a bit, but I like "sweet" IPAs to balance out the Palate Wreckers of the world. The Baltic Porter was tasty, the Über is good spiced beer, and the Ryewine is decent on a cold day. If they come out with new beers in the series I'll pick them up, but since I like variety it is unlikely I'll return to anything other than the Baltic Porter.

 

That's funny, Ive only had the scotch ale and I thought it was excellent. I'm a big fan of scotch ales tho.

 

A few months back I had a 4 year old Big Ed Imperial Stout. It revived my faith in aging stouts. Tasted port-like, little to no oxidation. One of the few beers I'll buy again with the intention of aging.

 

The only Leinenkugel product that is not marketed primarily to women.
