However, I started drinking Leinie&#8217;s back when it was still a regional Midwestern family owned brewery, and I still enjoy their beers to this day. The question tonight is, can an American Adjunct Lager be considered craft? Can a beer that uses cheaper filler grains be good?<\/p>\n<p>A crystal clear beer with decent head retention, smells grassy, boozy, and grainy, just as you&#8217;d expect of this style, but still appealing. Taste is a smooth, clean malt profile with a thick, creamy body. Some odd vegetal flavors pop up with the light hops that work to balance everything out. The finish is crisp and clean. Overall, yes it&#8217;s an adjunct lager, but it is made well, with a nice balance, and a clean finish that makes it extremely sessionable. It&#8217;s not a fancy beer, or even a unique beer, but it is a solid utilitarian kinda beer that gets the job done without offending the palate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[78],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-660","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","hentry","embm_style-lager-north-american-adjunct"],"embm_profile":{"malts":null,"hops":null,"additions":null,"yeast":null,"abv":null,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":null,"notes":null,"beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":662,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/660\/revisions\/662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=660"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=660"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
