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.

Dunkelbraune, klare Farbe. Bräunlicher Schaum. Bittere Röstmalznoten, etwas Kaffee, ein Hauch dunkler Schokolade, Spuren von Traubensaft. Ist ganz OK. Das Bier braucht tatsächlich etwas Temperatur damit sich die Geschmacksaromen richtig entfalten. Unter 8 Grad Celsius genossen schmeckt das nur nach Kaffeeschorle vom Vortag.

Bottle. Orangeish golden colour with a foamy small white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is grains, mash, some sugar and a bit plastic pipe tones. Flavour is sugary, some mash tones with grains, mild metallic and cardboardy tones. A bit wheaty tones too.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', best before December 2023. Clear, deep ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of raisins, prunes, molasses and some cough syrup. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity and a bit roasty taste of molasses, chocolate, raisins, caramel, prunes and some cough syrup, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious beer, rather sweet but relatively complex. An unexpected goodie.

Hazy orange pour with a lasting white head; aroma is mainly wheat, some notes of fruit and grass. Taste similar. Overall, a solid, but not mind-blowing alcohol-free Weizen.

0,5 l bottle as König Ludwig Weissbier from Zisch, Wildeshausen. Murky flat golden with a more than one finger steady foamy white head. Dry yeast and banana on the nose with some clove. Taste starts more on the orange side, yeasty ,wheat, increasing dry. Getting a little bit thin in the aftertaste. Bavarian standard stuff.

En vaso weissen, color amarillo pajizo, turbia y opaca, espuma blanca, fina y esponjosa de buena retención. En nariz notas de cereal, levadura, campos de trigo, banana y especias. En boca encontramos el perfil típico de una Hefeweizen muy bien defendida y con un cuerpo más que aceptable. Refrescante, sabrosa y plena, de final bien especiado y ligeramente seco. Bien
