Description
The Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg was established in 1871 by Sigmund von Willibald. The Von Willibalds owned the castle and brewery till 1917 when the premises were acquired by the Schülein family. The Schülein heirs sold the castle and brewery in 1954 to the Wittelsbach family. The König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg continues the 800-year tradition of brewing of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Prince Luitpold of Bavaria started in the 1970s to turn the small brewery in Kaltenberg Castle into a modern company.

The castle still houses part of the brewing installation of the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei. 100,000 hectoliters of beer are brewed here every year. But most activities of the company are located in the large modern brewery in Fürstenfeldbruck. Since 2001 the König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg has been a 50/50 joint venture with Warsteiner.

Strong helles with a malty focus. Golden, medium body, thin finish. Boring - not nearly Christmassy enough.

Looks like a foggy Helles, bad head though. Aroma and taste are like the big brother and the body is surprisingly full for a light beer. Not bad at all.

A dark red beer with a beutiful head - but it lacks aroma. It has a fresh slightly prickling flavor that ends in a slight metallic aftertaste.

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.

Not spectacular - less aroma than in comparable bavarian dunkelweizen. Murky brown. Slightly estery, neutral aftertaste.
