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!

Tried bottled as Konig Ludwig in New Zealand. I have to say it travelled fairly well, the only disappointing thing about this beer was that the head didn’t hang around for long. All in all though, a lovely fluffy quaffable wheat beer with a nicely balanced palate and no need to add lemon to it (which I’m not a fan of anyway). Worth going back for, this one is the saucy blonde at the party who you may stand a chance with...

I had the bottle labelled Konig Ludwig. Clean and light, with a lightly spicy and lemony aroma. Appearance was a very pale cloudy yellow with smallish fizzy head that quickly dissipated. Flavor was light and mainly lemony, refreshing.

Pear gold with nice grainy white head. Moderately yeasty aroma, moderate banana. A rock-solid weiss -- banana, bubblegum, fizz. Slightly tart on the lips and in the finish, solid mouthfeel. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good.

On tap under name Konig Weiss. Typical cloudy/pale yellow color with strong scent of cloves. Very fresh, served with garnish wedge of lime. Subdued banana and bubblegum. Very refreshing.

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is slightly more peppery than most hefes and a little less sweet. Body has some good clove and banana yeastiness well balanced with crystal malt and German hops. Very smooth drinking and refreshing, a decent hefeweizen.

Cloudy orangey gold, with a thin white head. Biscuity, mildly citrusy aroma. Smooth, soft palate. Crisp citrus flavors mix with a mild herbal note. Spicy finsh. Becomes slightly more fruity as it warms.

A typical German Hefeweizen. This was in a brown bottle (which is not typical for many German beers) which may account for the lack of skunkiness.

Cloudy and golden.Wheat totally dominates and it left plenty of lacing.Not a style I would go out of my way to drink but if i had to this is the one i would chose.
