Löwenbräu LöwenWeisse Hefe Weissbier

Brewed by Löwenbräu Munich (InBev)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Munich, Germany

Cloudy yellow/orange colored brew. Sweet aroma, some citrus. Banana flavor with sweet, wheaty touches. Drinkable, also from the can.

Hazy straw yellow with a huge, nice head. The aroma has sweetness and notes of wheat and banana. The flavour has the typical sweetness, also the notes of wheat and banana, even a weak hint of citrus, but not the nice spiciness, that IMO belongs to a nice weiss. By all means it’s not bad, it’s quenching and easy to drink - but...

0.5 l can from Spar in Semriach. Murky orange bodied still containing some yeast, with medium bigger white head. Very nice weizen aroma, banana, citrus, cinnamon etc... Flavor sweetish estery and fruity, but also sourish unpleasant, specially when taking larger sip. Finish quite long, nice and sweetish. Weizen a bit out of flavor balance, otherwise fine.

Comments: 500mL can bought in Salzburg’s Billa supermarket. An unclean, kinda metallic, sweet and thin weizen that can’t compete with the ones I was drinking in Austrian brewpubs.

bottle 50 cl. A cloudy darkish yellow with a fastfading white head. Taste’s not that sweet with some notes of citrus and a very short aftertaste. I know better white’s

Bottled. Cloudy golden, creamy head. Aroma of mashed banana. Sweet and lightly papery with some sticky esters and lots of banana jam. Quite drinkable.

Bottle. Turbid orange colour with a big white head. Aromas of citrus, yeast and spice. Flavour of bananas and cloves. Easy drinking but a bit subdued.

Orange color, less orange flavor then a blue moon, but fruity hints. slightly yeasty aroma. Godd wheat beer
