Löwenbräu is one of the six historic Munich breweries granted the right to serve at Oktoberfest, and the Alkoholfrei carries that pedigree into the alcohol-free category. It's brewed under Germany's Reinheitsgebot purity law — water, malt, hops, yeast, nothing else — then dealcoholised to bring it down to 0.5% ABV. In the glass it looks the part: pale straw, clear, with a white head that holds its ground. The flavour is straightforward rather than complex — bready malt, a light honey sweetness, and enough hop bitterness to keep things honest. There's a faint metallic edge in the mid-palate, which is a known quirk of dealcoholised lagers, but it's not intrusive. Carbonation is lively and the finish is dry and clean. At 25 calories per 100ml it's one of the leaner options in the AF lager category. It's widely available in German supermarkets and through specialist AF retailers in the UK — straightforward, unpretentious, and a good deal more interesting than many mass-market AF lagers.
