Commercial Description:
This is Royal Barvarian Hefeweizen. Why are the Bavarian Royal Family and King Ludwig so important to brewing history? The Bavarian Royal Family had sole rights to brewing Hefe-Weizen on Bavaria for over 200 years. No wonder we are the leading experts on wheat beers!

Acheté à la SAQ en format de 500 ml et dégusté dans un verre de weizen erdinger. Apparence jaune ambré avec reflet de mangue avec une belle effervescence et peu de mousse. Arômes de banane, de levure de pain, une touche de clou de giroffe et de tarte à la meringue. Un goût léger et crémeux de levure, de clou de giroffe et de meringue. Une bonne bière avec une très faible amertume avec un finition sec. Je peux rajouter une petite touche de mangue et de banane suivis d’un peut de coriande et de muscade.

500ml bottle into a Tucher Weizen glass. Poured a hazy yellow with a decent foamy white head which quickly dissapeared. Aroma was strong banana with small hints of cloves and wheat. Flavour was a bit watery with notes of banana, yeast, wheat and to a smaller degree bubblegum. It had a taste reminiscent of a smoked beer after each sip which I found bizzare and out of place for the style. Light-medium bodied with a sweet finish. I enjoyed it but this is far from the best hefeweizen I have tried. Overall - not bad.

500 ml bottle Germany. I was not really impressed with this Hefe. It was not bad but not great either. No banana bland taste. But drinkable.

Bouteille de 330 ml achetée chez Finger Lakes Beverage Center (Ithaca, NY) sous le nom "König Ludwig Weissbier" Arôme: Odeur de blé avec une pointe de banane et de clou de Girofle. Apparence: La couleur est blonde voilée avec une moyenne densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une large dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de céréales, de banane et d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a thick, pillowy, creamy, white head. Classic hefeweizen aroma of bananas, cloves and bubble-gum, there’s also a mild citrus presence. The flavor has roughly the same elements as the aroma, but it feels a bit dull and bland. The body is medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation.

0,5 lt Bottle with the label "König Ludwig Weissbier" from Carrefour Gerakas in Athens. Very haze dark yellow color. Foamy white head that quickly disappears. Wheat aroma with banana and corn notes. Medium body and yeasty flavor with typical for the kind banana notes. Above average but nothing over the top.

bottle. Pours yellowish and hazy. I think I must have gotten a skunked bottle because this beer had a nasty funk to it. Traditional hefe flavors were present but otherwise spoiled by the funk. Not sure I want to give this one a second try.

Draft at Ballydoyle, as “König Ludwig Royal Bavarian Hefe Weiss” In branded straighter-than-normal hefeweizen glass. Cloudy yellow, a quarter-inch white head that didn’t touch the lemon wedge stuck in the glass. Still started with a bit of Lemon Pledge smell, but this dwindled to a gentle base wheat smell. Taste is soft and just a little spicy. Usual hefe esters are not as strong, just a bit of clove, and no banana bomb, working well with the wheat and malt. Just a basic, average hefeweizen.
