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!

König Ludwig Weissbier labeled. Hazy blond coloured beer with some average carbonation and a small white head. Light sweet herby aroma. Medium palate. Finish is light bitter herby with some wheat palate. Medium hefeweizen.

Must try harder. I’ve had a couple of dozen weizens, and this isn’t that great. Pale body, foamy head and a watery palate and flavour - and this was the bottled version. Not a great beer, but still ok for a warm summer day, but if theres something else behind the bar that takes your fancy - pass this over.

Typical cloudy yellow Hefeweisen color. Almost no head. Nose of bananas. Banana taste as well. However, the taste seems watered down. This beer has nowhere near the taste kick that most Hefeweisens do. It’s too bland for a Hefeweisen, almost like it’s trying to lean toward the taste of a pale lager. Slightly tart finish, almost like Smarties candy.

Labeled as Konig Ludwig Weissbier; smooth but with a strange, fruity flavor and a spicy kick

Labeled as Konig Ludwig Weissbier. Pours a very hazy, dirty orange color with a nice thick head that does settle down kind of quickly. Aroma isn’t bad with yeast, bananas, vanilla, cloves. Much of the same flavor with quite a bit of yeast and a citrusy, vanilla, wheaty flavor. As the case with many hefe’s I’ve had before the finish is rather bland leaving me wanting a little more. Perhaps a touch more spice would do the trick. Still it’s pretty good and definitely a refreshing beer for a warm day.

Pours a shady gold with a head that vanishes quick. Hard to tell if its filtered or unfiltered. Aroma of wheat malt, citris and bread. Smooth and sweet it went down well. Finish is short and also sweet. Is there any better beer on a 90 degree day?
