Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier Hell

Brewed by Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg
Style: German Hefeweizen
Furstenfeldbruck, Germany

Slightly hazy with a wisp of a white head and obvious carbonation. Heavy banana aroma with some vanilla. The flavor follows the aroma. The palate is somewhat sharp for a Hefe and the finish is crisp. Decent body.

This was a pretty good hef. Nice banana and clove on the nose, with a sweet honey aroma as well. Color was hazy golden. Flavor was sweeter, with some citrus, banana and clove. Finish was a bit drying, which cut the flavor, but still a nice beer.

murky dark gold with a large creamy white head. banana, clove aroma with some citrus. light bodied. flavor has some banana and clove notes but somewhat bland. highly carbonated. on tap this beer seems much more full bodied and creamier.

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.

12oz bottle labled Konig Ludwig Weiss - Pours cloudy golden with a tall foamy white head that stays pretty well and laces some on the weizen glass. Aroma of bannana, and a little clove. Flavor is lots of bannana, a little clove, and some yeast. Quite carbonated with a lively mouthfeel. Pretty refreshing and actually a little better than I expected it to be.

The aroma has banana, clove, and spices. Color is a cloudy yellow with a decent white head. Initially the flavor is slighlty fruity and grows to a spicey dry finish.

Bouteille, courtoisie de Jean-Marc G. . De couleur dorée et légèrement voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (bananes et agrumes), de blé, léger de gomme balloune, d’épices (clou de girofle) et de houblon herbeux (herbe mouillée) aux notes florales ainsi que des notes de pain. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et légèrement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et aqueuse. Goût de levures fruitées (citron et zest, moyen de bananes) et moyennement épicé (clou de girofle, notes de coriandre) avec des notes de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût asséchant de blé accompagné d’un goût de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) aux petites notes florales ainsi qu’un goût de levures. Post-goût moyen aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux, de levures, de blé et fruité (zest de citron, pelures de bananes).

Bottle, nice hazy classic Bavarian Hefeweizen look. A bit over-carbonated, I found that if I poured it high with a big head it lost some of the carbonation and thus tasted much better. Not enough hints of fruit for my taste, I’ll stick with my Paulaner :)
