I've long been a Leinenkugel fan, and at one time had my refrigerator full of various styles of Leinie's, as well as regularly partaking of pints (or even pitchers) of Leinie's Red at O'Rourke's. I tried the new seasonal Fireside Nut rown with some anticipation, but suffered a bit of a letdown. FNB was serviceable, but nothing spectacular. It's billed as a malty lager, but I detected a medium-strong hoppiness and thought the maltiness was understated. A bit thinner than I would have expected from the dark brown color and caramel head. Despite my less tha nglowing review, I'd still give it a 6 out of 10, and it would not be out of place at a holiday turkey dinner.
