Labeled as Konig Ludwig Weissbier. Pours a very hazy, dirty orange color with a nice thick head that does settle down kind of quickly. Aroma isn’t bad with yeast, bananas, vanilla, cloves. Much of the same flavor with quite a bit of yeast and a citrusy, vanilla, wheaty flavor. As the case with many hefe’s I’ve had before the finish is rather bland leaving me wanting a little more. Perhaps a touch more spice would do the trick. Still it’s pretty good and definitely a refreshing beer for a warm day.

Jul 6, 2008 Purchased as Konig Ludwig Weissbeir. Pours and orange/gold color with a thick white head. Some white yeast sediment is evident in the pour. Aroma includes banana, cloves and citrus. Taste has hints of citrus and banana. Palate has a nice fizziness and the finish includes reminders of the cloves and other spices. One of my favorite Weisbiers.

Jun 29, 2008 This wheat had the typical banana/clove aroma but also had a citrus smell that very nice. The color looked as a wheat beer should but the body was thin when drank. Not a bad wheat but not the best.

Jun 28, 2008 Tall draft at Aurelio’s Pizza (Frankfort, IL). A Surprising addition to the draft menu at this fantastic pizza place. Poured a nice hazy yellow with a very inviting billowy white head that sticks around and laces. Aromas are very banana, clove, and notes of citrus. Taste is very similar. Refreshing, quenching with a nice more dominant citrusy lemon flavor (Surprising, since I used to consider this a largely banana Hefe). Sweet fruity esters are a bit light, but very enjoyable but aid in the refreshing feel. A very inviting Hefe that is good, but not in the top echelon.

Jun 20, 2008 Konig Ludwig bottling. Light gold, surprisingly towards clear versus hazy, slight head lasted decently. Aroma was faintly of clove and a touch of banana. Flavor had a grainy wheat quality, some wateriness to it, and very light banana and clove notes. Carbonic bite. Not smooth, the esters were muted. Not particularly good, lacking character. I expected more.
