Handwritten notes: The fellows from Leineken will find and kill me some day, mark my words. This beer is a clone of Rickard's Red, being a generic tasting macro with little or no life in its sun burnt body. It would be good as a change of pace, if you are completely tired of good beer. Don't worry, Leineken family, I'll get mine. And when I do, I guess I'll have four generations of ghosts to fight in hell.

I'm sitting here wondering how I did not know that Leinie made a red lager. I'm a huge fan of their stuff, especially the 1888 Bock. Although you gave this brew a low(ish) score, I'm still pumped to try it. TO THE LIQUOR STORE!
In hindsight this beer is not that bad. I had one last night watching the Cardinals beat the Giants, and it was quite good. I think that my entire perspective of Leinie has been skewed and ruined by Berry Weiss. I find myself turning up my nose at anything they make like some fussy toddler. So, in conclusion, I was wrong. (P.S. Leineken family - please call off the hit you have on me).
You sure are interesting! Great beer site! Lots of fun! Thanks for sharing! I'm currently drinking Leinenkugel's Red Lager!
HERE'S TO YOU!!!

Where did you get this?? I can't find it in Middle TN anywhere??
I got 'er in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Which is kind of like "Tennessee North" I would imagine.
