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!

Was not that good, since I cannot remember much of this beer, only that was very dunkel, not a dunke one, but the colour.

Very yeasty aroma with a decent head. Some trace, very musty yellow colour. Good presentation for a hef, i’m not easily impressed with them in that regard. A nice finish too, great drink.

König Ludwig Weiss, on tap, Virginia Beach Brewfest. Yeasty nose and a white head cover a pale yellow beer. Rather carbonated. Taste the wheat, big time. Clean, fresh finish. OK weiss.

12 oz. bottle. Very small, cream colored head. Bright golden color. Light aroma of bread and yeast. Lots of carbonation in this one. Light yeast and citrus flavors with a hint of spiciness at the end. Very drinkable, decent hefeweizen.

aroma of wheat, nice big initial head, maybe because it got shook aorund on the flight home. Easy on tongue creaminess, medium mouthfeel. A good brew, a decent represenattive of its style. Appropriately carbonated.

Bottle, 50cl. Pours a cloudy and pale yellow liquid, with a nice white foam, rapidly diminishing. Aroma is moderately malty with notes of citrus and some other fruits, probably apple or something.... Aroma is again fruity. Very refreshing and drinkable, not the best weiss that i’ve had but neverthelesss a good one.

One I have looked forward to tasting for a while now. Have been fascinated by the story of ’Mad’ king Ludwig and his heir to the throne, Luitpold, for some time now. Tasted from the bottle and poured into a weissbier glass. Hazy, in fact almost opaque, pale golden straw body with a compact and dense, rocky white head that stuck firmly to the glass and left rings down the sides. Strong banana, yeast and peppery spices in the aroma, quite tart, with a good lemon rind and almost musty grain balance. Quite light in body and lively in carbonation with a strong vanilla, wheat and yeast mix across the tongue, bananas and the lightest hint of sour lemons in the back before a smooth citric and yeasty swallow that remained fresh, without becoming gluggy. Zesty and quite sweet once it relaxed a little and began to warm, it continued to cross my tongue with such ease that before I knew it was gone. This was actually a lovely wheat beer that would go down a treat in bulk, as personally, its subtlety seemed to pay off. Refreshing, easy drinking. (König Ludwig Weissbier, 50cL, BBE 08/05)
