Löwenbräu Original

Brewed by Löwenbräu Munich (InBev)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Munich, Germany

Golden colour, small head. Weak aroma of malts. Flavour is bit sweet and malty with a slight bitterness.

Very bitter but I cannot refuse this kind of beer. Most people really dislike the "ugly" hops aroma, taste, etc. Very hard to pallete. The color is lovely to look at but I’m biased but tried to make my rating fair.

I really like this light golden yellow colored beer. The head disipates somewhat quickly.

Skunky hops aroma. Lightly carbonated, golden yellow body with pure white head of one finger, slight lacing. Bitter-sweet refreshing taste of hops with balanced barley malt richness. I’d put this one in the same class as Beck’s, Heineken or Tsing Tao.

500 mL can. Gold, with a film of head. Grassy - citrussy (?) aroma, and this carries into the flavour, as well. Crisp, dry and drinkable. Not my favourite style, but this isn’t a bad beer.

Bottle. Good compared to America’s big brewery offerings but lower tier compared to European breweries. Recommend trying an American micro or smaller production European offering.

Good beer. I had a 50cl can and bought it last summer in austria. Tastes good and no special effect.

although an embarrasment to munich--home of the hofbrauhause--this is better than most american macrobrewed crap. a slightly malty nose, tasting of wheat and water, with just enough alcohol bite to make it sit well next to a pizza. the most damning thing here is the utterly predictable nature of this boring-as-a-dog’s-ass lager.
