Löwenbräu Urtyp

from beerangel.de - clear and deep golden colour with a strong but elusive white foam; aroma of corn and solvant, slightly oily and sticky, sweet and with a late tartness, no bitterness, aftertaste of corn and sulphur - bad

Gold colour. The aroma has some strawlike character, a little bit of vegetal sulphur and light pale malts. Rather sticky palate, with vague herbal/fruity hop character. The malts are a little too syrupy for my taste and the hop character is not bright enough to overcome this.

Bottle. Bright yellow with fizzy head that disappears fast. Sweet corny macrobrew aroma has some sulfur and green apple. Prickly palate. Gassy. Very sweet and simplistic. Swilly with a watered down apple juice character.

swing top bottle. clear golden color with a huge white head that stays for a bit. Lacing is spotted. Smells of malt and grass which is pretty average. Taste is refreshing with malt, grass, and a slight bitter hops note. Descent beer but expectations were higher.

500 ml bottle. From Germany. Clear pale golden colour with white creamy medium-size head. Aroma is sweetish grainy malt, fruits and grassy notes. Flavour is some grassy maltiness, light fruitiness and bitter hoppiness but also some stale alcohol. The label is remarkably tempting, unfortunately the beer isn’t.

Bottle: some sweet banana like maltyness, some sour notes, weak bitterness, watery, some cirtus and grassy notes, all very mild and quite bland.

Bottled (Beerangel, BB 10/2009). Clear yellow color, decent white head. Grassy-straw nose with slightly metallic notes. Palate is quite watery. Mostly apple fruity maltyness with grassy hopping. Quick finish. Maybe ice cold at summer, but otherwise useless.
