Leinenkugel's Canoe Paddler (USA)

Product Story

Leinenkugel's offers over a dozen different styles including a collection of seasonable beers like their "Canoe Paddler", a classically styled Kolsch beer. Luckily, the Canoe Paddler has earned such a following that it is now available all year. We absolutely love the Canoe Paddler as it has everything a lover of classic European beers seek. We have had our fill of so called craft Kolsch beers that feature the hop profile of an IPA. If you really love classic European beers and need a break from the hop-heavy brews that fill your local taps seek out the Canoe Paddler, our favorite spring session ale.

Brand Story

Leinenkugel's is a great old family brewery founded in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin over 150 years ago. Leinenkugel's beers are now available nationwide. They offer over a dozen different styles with their Leinenkugel's Original as the company's flagship beer.

Tasting Note

Brilliant golden color with a fine bead of bubbles and a soft white head. The aromatics are fresh and vibrant with scents of malt and classic wet river stone accents found in Kolsch style beers with a subtle hop note. The palate echoes the nose delivering a vibrant, malt driven core with strong support from the ale yeast, as well as a spicy rye accent. Medium-bodied with perfect balance thanks to a bright dose of acidity with a faint, citrus-like finish.
