GMan71 (23), Lower Mitcham, Australia Nov 15, 2006 Bottled under name Konig Ludwig Weiss. Slightly disappointed considering I have in the past enjoyed their dunkel. Weakish flavour compared to some others of the style. Just passed the best before date - may be a reason. kepnerb (5), Castana, Iowa, USA does not count Nov 9, 2006 I thought this was a very refreshing brew. It had a somewhat lackluster appearance. Poured a cloudy light amber color with pure white head. I didn’t get any of the fruity tastes the other raters mentioned. A stronger more forceful taste than i expectred for a hefe.(My palate may not be as experienced as the others.) I really enjoyed it. vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Nov 8, 2006 Pours hazy orange with a rich pillowy white head. The aroma has rich wheat with orange citrus notes, prominant banana esters and some spices. Medium body with a rich mouthfeel and good amount of carbonation. The taste starts with some citric flavors that is somewhat distracting and rich wheat. The finish has some astringency and spice. This is an okay hefe, but fall short in a few areas. Borup (1345), Albertslund, Denmark Nov 7, 2006 Bottle. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit and yest. nimrod (53), USA Nov 4, 2006 Bottled as Konig Ludwig Weiss. Cloudy, golden yellow with a brief head. Smell bananas and hints of wheat. Strong banana flavorand a little orange at the end. Flavor sticks to the pallete long after. Goes down smooth. Pretty good, but I don’t have much to compare it to yet. zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Nov 1, 2006 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Cloudy golden orange color with a very small amount of white head. Aroma is full of wheat and banana notes with some hints of clove and a touch of orange peel. Yeast, wheat, clove, and bananas begin the flavor with a smooth transition to a watery and wheaty middle and a finish of wheat and bananas. A bit watery at the end but not a bad beer besides. omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 23, 2006 Updated: Jan 5, 2007Bottled (as König Ludwig Weissbier). Hazy golden, brief head. Papery banana aroma. Dryish with dense rounded mouthfeel, restrained bubblegum esters,
medium body. Streamlined weizen, decent enough, but somewhat charmless. Notes of vanilla, evident wheat malt flavour.
bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Oct 14, 2006 Botted as König Ludwig Weiss. Pours a hazy light amber with a thick white head. Aroma of lemon and spice. Light body and active carbonation. Banana, cloves and wheat in the taste with a quick and dry finish. Yup, it’s a German Hefeweizen.
