Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier Hell

Brewed by Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg
Style: German Hefeweizen
Furstenfeldbruck, Germany

König Ludwig Weiss - Originally sampled from draught but unrated until this bottle from Uto. Straw coloured with a light cream head. Aroma of yeast and banana with a taste to match. Crisp with a light start and rich finish. A firm favorite, well suited to the bannofie pie for dessert.

Medium shiny lasting white head. Cloudy yellow body with light carbonation. Thin wheaty fruity aroma with spicy banana yoghurt notes. Sweet-acidic chalky fruity wheaty taste with spicy yoghurt notes. Fullish body. Quite delicate. Chalky, smooth mouthfeel. Dry-acidic chalky herbal grassy aftertaste. Nice, very drinkable. (0.5l bottle, Oslo-Kiel ferry. Rated twice.)

Bottle: Hazy, cloudy, pale lemon yellow color, off-white head. Fresh fruity nose (lemons, summer fruit), Flavour is wheaty, with a banana note, some cloves, lemony and yeasty finish.

500ml brown bottle. Labeled as Konig Ludwig Weissbier. Pale lemon yellow colour, hazy. Head is huge, white in colour, creamy, thick and long lasting. Light aroma of banana and lemon. Flavour is wheaty, with a strong banana note, some cloves, lemony and yeasty finish. Body is a bit light and thin.

Bottle 49F Weizen Glass. Good lemon citrus aroma with a nice balance of yeast, and a touch of pepper. No noticible hops are present as would be expected. A cloudy golden color, with a nice lasting white head. but only minimal lacing. Taste is slightly bitter at the finish, a bit of fruit at the begining. Quite light almost watery. Makes for easy drinking. Fairly light palate, but pretty strong carbonation, Not too bad. Not a bad beer, there are definately better hefes out there, still haven’t found a match for weihenstephaner. But easy drinking.

One bottle of König Ludwig Weiss from BOTW. Poured a large head. Usual citrus aroma with wheat, hops and yeast. Fullbodied wheat flavor. Decent beer.

Draught. At Smokeless Joe, as "Konig Weiss". Cloudy somewhat pale orange, large and lasting creamy-foamy white head. Pleasant fruity sweet malt aroma, not too much banana, light lemon and dry hops, some sharp peppery yeast that began to dominate as it warmed. The taste is a little bland and watery, definite wheat character, the fruit sweetness fades quickly - won’t make me forget the Denison’s any time soon, but quenching on a hot day on the patio. Surprisingly solid body considering the watery palate, not too sweet, lightly syrupy with a very quick finish - ever so slightly bitter aftertaste from the yeast. Decent.

On tap at Chaucer’s Pub in London, Ontario- Pours classic hazy yellow, with a creamy white foam. Head has excellent life. Aromas are orange creamsicle, banana, yeasty esters,, floral spices. Flavours of spicy cirtus, banana, yeast, cream. Very nice and refreshing fruit/yeast finish. Good.
