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.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very sweet aroma. Caramell notes. Tastes like a strong hefeweizen, not too alcoholic. Finish sweet, strong, but still well balanced. Good beer!

Bottle (thanx to joss !): Golden, bigger loose white head with a good lace; light metallic nose with a vinous touch, all in all the usual suspects in the nose: grains, pale malt and so on; soft MF, medium bodied; solid sweet, a bit almondy finish with a hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Good, but not great.........
