Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier Hell

Brewed by Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg
Style: German Hefeweizen
Furstenfeldbruck, Germany

Bottle poured into weizen glass during Trier music fest. Honestly don’t remember much other than an easy drinking hefe during the street festival.

500ml botlle as König Ludwig Weissbier Hell in Munich hotel room around Oktoberfest. Creamy yellow with a tall head. Some sweetness. Watery and quite thin.

500ml botlle as König Ludwig Weissbier Hell. Hazy, orange body colour under a fast fading head. Weak weissen aroma of cloves and wheat. Light taste of vanilla sweetness mixed with a spicy touch. Yeast and hints of fruit in a short finish. Oily and thin mouthfeel (Trier, 14.09.2007).

From a bottle poured nice amber color with lots of fluffy white head. Nice sweet fruity flavor.

Colore neanche tanto ’hell’, ambrato chiaro che sfuma verso il fondo, torbidissima di lieviti con buona schiuma. Aroma vagamente bananoso, ma abbastanza flebile; sapore asprigno con note di uova marce nel retrogusto. C’è qualcosa che non va? A parte questo sarà difficile ricordarsela.

I was very happy to see a beer under the name of Konig Ludwig. Not since I was in Germany in 2001 since I’d seen this brand. Last time I had it I had Konig Ludwig dark while on vacation in the Harz Mountains with a family that took in exchange students. Ahhh...the memories. On to my comments. Bottle. Poured a muddy blonde with lots of visible sediment and a large head. Sweet nose with strong citrus and even stronger yeast aromas. A little mild on the taste--some citrus and wheat but not as punctuated as much citrus as I like in a hefe. Finish is a mild citrus. Overall, a very good beer though. One that I’d be happy to drink again.

9/20/2007: König Ludwig Weissbier pours a pale yellow color and has an unfiltered appearance (cloudy). The head is white in color, quite dense, long-lasting, and leaves a good amount of lasting lacing on the glass. The aroma has cloves and weak banana with some yeasty undertones. The flavor is is light and refreshing with a combination of typical hefe flavors (clove and banana), lemony citrus, and some wheat malt. This beer is soft and smooth on the palate and is light to medium-light in body. Overall this beer has a nice balance and isn’t too strong. This is good cross-over or first beer for those wanting to try German Hefe/Weiss beers. This beer would also be a great traditional hefe to drink on a hot and humid Summer day.
