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.

Piva koja se još može naći i pod nazivom Prinzregent Luitpold Weissbier Hell. Ovo je pšenična piva sa 5.5% alk, nazvana po kralju Ludwigu koji je osigurao svojoj obitelji 200 godina eksluzivnog prava na proizvodnju pšeničnog piva u Bavarskoj. Barem tako kažu iz ove pivovare König Ludwig Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg.

500ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Expressionless, pale malty and minimally strawy aroma. Taste is minimally spicy, pale malty, minimally strawy, light peppery spiciness. Slightly oily texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Simple and monotonous, at least not too sweet - so-so.

Bottle online from Raynville Superstore. Pours a clear golden colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of grains, hay, grass, bread and a medicinal note. Taste has grains, hay, bread, honey, a little more grass and medicinal note with an added hint of floral. Medium to full body, average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Not bad but i would prefer it if this medicinal note was not there.
