Löwenbräu, Oktoberfest Bier (Germany) 
This has a light yellow/gold colour and foamy, dense white head. On the nose it is very crisp, citrussy and fresh, with sweetness, some background spice and a nettly, hoppy edge. On the palate it is particularly creamy-textured and thick, with a caramel sweetness at first, then a nicely sour raft of herbal and underripe pear flavours fills in. There is a bittering dryness on the finish, though a little biscuity richness keeps it quite full. A very nice lager-style beer, though perhaps a little too sweetly flirtatious. 6.0% ABV, 50cl, £1.29 - £1.59, Majestic, Morrisons, Sainsbury's.  |  |
