Nov 13, 2009 A: Large, white, frothy head... this baby hung around for a bit, and then dissipated to about 1/2-finger for the rest of drinking. Body is a nice, dark-yellow color, and very cloudy.
S: Nice notes of wheat, lemon, and pepper.
T: Damned nice hefe... large taste of pepper and other spices, with a wheaty, citrusy finish. Short-average duration... just like a good hefe should taste.
M: Light-bodied, yet creamy, with soft-average carbonation.
D: This beer goes down great, and is a perfect session brew at 5.5%... actually, it taste even less than that. Nothing really there to make it super special, but it’s still very good and I could drink ’em all day.

Oct 26, 2009 12oz bottle (Konig Ludwig Weissbier). Pours golden and cloudy with a thick head that is slow to settle. The nose is fruity malt and citrus. The taste is nice and pleasant, lemon, banana, and bread flavors that are mingled with the hops with a well balanced malt flavor. Very smooth.

Oct 22, 2009 Pours a pale, cloudy straw color with a thick, creamy white head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Very strong aroma; hints of banana and spice.
Kind of a subdued taste; not bold, but not terrible either. Much more banana taste than in other weissbiers I’ve had. Decent mouthfeel. All in all, a very nice beer.

Oct 22, 2009 bottle- (Konig Ludwig Weissbier) I expected a bit more from this brew. Very small head which diminished almost immediately, pungent aroma with little or no citrus, spicy with buttery, earthy undertones. Upon tasting nothing really stands out a hint of leather perhaps, very lively carbonation. Not a great weizen - but not bad on the whole either.

Oct 18, 2009 Appearance: Persistent head and fine bubbles due to bottle fermenting.
Aroma: Initially faint aroma coriander. Later, some banana and more coriander appeared as it warmed.
Flavor: Slightly bitter banana and coriander spice that got more prominent as it opened up.
Palate. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel.
Comment: Fine balance of malt and hop. The hop bittering doesn’t really intrude at all but adds just a little bitterness that is blended into the banana and malt flavors to give it a bit of complexity. I perceived this to be dry/slightly off dry, meaning that I could drink another without feeling full. This puts most American and Japanese commercial beers to shame. Perhaps this is what a good quality session beer should be like.
