Löwen Weisse

Brewery: Löwenbräu
Supplier: Beers of Europe

From a company that was founded in 1383 but is now owned by Anheuser–Busch InBev. This is their Hefeweizen. I served this straight from the fridge.
Appearance: Slightly opaque amber colour with gold around the edge, thin white head that goes fairly quickly.
Aroma: Banana and bubble gum on the nose, not much off.
Flavour: A little watery on the front and then a peppery sweet malt on the back, this is a really nice sweetness a bit like you get in a milkshake. 
Body: Clean and crisp.
Aftertaste: A very clean and so there is not much aftertaste.

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, not depthful but a very drinkable and nice, a very clean hefe.

Price Range: £1.99 for a 500ml bottle, very good price for a good drinker.

Food Pairings: Strong meaty and bready flavours like a boiled ham sandwich on rye bread.
