Vanilla Porter wasn't that bad i think? just sweet

IIRC most of the Leiney shandy variants I tried just tasted like soft drinks, which was actually fine for what I wanted at the time
I strenuously object to the name "Big Butt Dopplebock Dopplebock" on gp

snowdrift vanilla is horrible
leinie's original is one of the most disgusting beers i've ever had (this is coming from someone who likes hamm's)
the IPL is decent

Does vegetable mean there's a V-8 shandy?

Leinenkugel's Cranberry Ginger Shandy Fruit / Vegetable Beer sounds awful.

leinie's gave up on making decent beer and is just a novelty fruit beer vendor for the most part now, right?

More or less yeah.
IDGAF, I will rep for Original forever. Creamy Dark is okay, but I can't stomach Red.

Oh also the names are screwed up because the tabs between beer names and styles got deleted when I posted the list. So it's Big Butt Doppelbock, in the style of a Doppelbock. That doesn't really change the horrible name calculus, though.

Voted for the berry weiss but now I think I should have picked a shandy. Shandy's are terrible.

the Summer Shandy that Leinenkugel makes is godawful. I had that shit a few years ago.

voting for "Orange Shandy Fruit / Vegetable Beer" out of spite for that. though iirc they ALL taste like fruity pebbles and they're all barfy.
xpost nothing worse than buying a sixer of that shit for a party and realizing you hate it three sips in and nobody else wants any
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:29 (eight years ago) link
three sips
ayo!

"Canoe Paddler" sounds like a euphemism for masturbator, so I'll go with that.

nice

fwiw those suffixes like "fruit/vegetable beer" are stylistic designators and don't appear on the packaging (because who's going to buy a vegetable beer?) "Adjunct lager" makes that one sound the worst to me - although original Leinie is a better than average lawnmower beer imo.
