hazy amber, develops a big head that subsides quickly. yeasty citrus nose. rather light beer , with a basic wheat taste , not much in the way of subtleties.

Perfect on a hot steamy day. On draft at Max’s. Bananas and clove and just far to easy to drink!

500 ml bottle. As König Ludwig Weissbier Hell. From Germany. Pale hazy yellow/orange colour with massive white head. Aroma is fruits (banana/citrus), wheat and yeast. Malty, wheaty flavour with some hints of citrus and banana. Not very sweet, more like dry but slightly watery and thin.

Sampled in Fussen. A really good hefe. Full of quality. Pours cloudy with a big thick head. A nice brew.

bottled as Konig Ludwig at Bob Chin’s in Wheeling, IL / darkish yellow, not cloudy, airy white head that dissipitated rather quickly. sweet, light, typical... then a good lemony flavor dominates this brew. it’s refreshing and it went very well with my tuna sashimi.

Bottle. This is a fair hefe I’d say. I probably wouldn’t buy it again though, cash strapped that I am. I’d rather pick up a weihenstephaner for 10 cents more

The colour was nice and clean until I swirled and dropped an A bomb of sediment into my glass. Great retention with the creamy white crown and some nice sticky lacing. The aroma was very bananaish the second I pried off the cap. Now it’s more ripe bananas, spice, yeast, bit of lemon and something that reminds me of a bag of flour. The lemon has more legs than you might expect. The taste is quite fresh but this does not taste as good as it did when I first cracked it (it’s still good though). A bit watery but the yeasty spice (clove) comes through first followed by light banana. There’s something at the very back of the sip that reminds me of chocolate but isn’t...actually, it’s more at the very end of the aftertaste. Seems a bit on the thin side but overall feels nice. Good carbonation that is just enough to give it a bit of zest. Soft mouthfeel. A decent beer, a nice mild version.
