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!

Bought in the 500ml brown bottle, with the simple yet effective yellow label with crest on front. This is a very nice looking beer when poured..deep golden straw coloured beer..that is quite attractivly hazy..with a large pure white frothy head, it shrank but vestiges remained until the beer was finished. Mmmmm very nice strong German hefe aromas..quite fruity ,loads of banana aroma..and the sourness of the wheat can be detected. Wow this is a very easy drinking beer..but it is loaded with flavour..bananas, spice, fresh wheat..and a nice mild aftertatse. Very comfortable on the tongue. An exceptionally drinkable weissbier..and at a good price excellent beer..I recommend this!

Tested as Konig Ludwig (alias)Light gold in color (straw), nice head,Aroma= nice smooth esters/ soft banana prevails. Palate = medium lt. Good carbonation. A well balanced weissbeir! yeast does not over drive this beer. I would buy it again. Cheers

First off, this is the cloudiest/haziest weisse I have ever tried. It looks like it would be a world class beer, let’s find out. Pours great with an immense white head, sticks around for a long time. The smell is of citrus and banana, the banana redolence overpowers the citrus. Fantastic mouthfeel for a weisse, not too bubbly, nice and balanced. Flavor is great, perhaps a little on the weak side, still a decent beer. Good stuff.

Konig Ludwig weiss 11.2oz bottle - Haggen Grocery Bellingham, WA - Great Hef! lightly cloudy golden with little white head. No lacing. Nice fruity aroma but powerfully citrus like many hefs. Maybe banana with a little spice. I’ll look for more.

pours a murky yellow colour with a thick fluffy head which lasts. aromas are banana, cobwebs, tulips and the slightest notes of vanilla. smooth in the mouth and a refreshing crisp, lemony bite in the finish. Ill always have fond memories of this beer, its what got me into craft beers :)

Had this in a bottle as Konig Ludwig Weissbier. Poured to a hazy lemon-yellow with a tint of orange, and a nice medium head that lingered long and left good lacing. Nose was a very pleasant and strong mix of ornages, cookie dough and clove, and the mouthfeel full and tingly. Flavor was a mild hop, again predominantly cookie dough, clove and orange, with just a hint of bubblegum at mid-glass. A very pleasant and tasty beer with a long satisfying finish. Perfect for a hot summer day.

A: Large, white, frothy head... this baby hung around for a bit, and then dissipated to about 1/2-finger for the rest of drinking. Body is a nice, dark-yellow color, and very cloudy. S: Nice notes of wheat, lemon, and pepper. T: Damned nice hefe... large taste of pepper and other spices, with a wheaty, citrusy finish. Short-average duration... just like a good hefe should taste. M: Light-bodied, yet creamy, with soft-average carbonation. D: This beer goes down great, and is a perfect session brew at 5.5%... actually, it taste even less than that. Nothing really there to make it super special, but it’s still very good and I could drink ’em all day.
