Beer of the Week: Lowenbrau Original

Beer score: 4.7

Company: Lowenbrau
ABV: 5.2
IBU: 19

This one has gone by various names over the years, including Lowenbrau Special and Lowenbrau Munchen, and the label on the green bottles changes slightly from time to time, but it's basically the flagship beer for the Lowenbrau folks, their first and original. Also, I'm told the Lowenbrau sold in the U.S. and that sold in other parts of the world have slightly different recipes, though I've only had the version sold in the U.S.

Pours a light golden color, almost like straw, with lots of carbonation, while giving off a weak bread-like scent, very weak.

This beer is wet and has a very made-for-America taste.

Not an awful beer, but also not a very good one. There are better on the market, even in the U.S.
