Stay away from that stuff. I bought a six pack of Leiny's summer shandy last summer. I was building a fence, it was probably mid 80's and humid and I was using a gas powered auger driling the holes. The heat that thing was throwing out plus the ambient temp and humidity and I was caked in mud from the digging combined with sweating. I needed to run into town to pick something up, and somehow ended up in a gas station and saw this. The marketing worked - it looked like the perfect summer time hot afternoon refreshment. Huge mistake - weirdest concoction I have ever drank - and weird in a bad way.
I will never drink another Leine again. I was scarred by that stuff.

Wait... so was this rant even about Leinie's Original or Red or any of the staples of their line?

Aww...... don't be that way. I swear, you won't hate the others. Especially the Red.

I like the Original for a mass produced beer. I have some in my fridge right now as a matter of fact.
