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.

Schaum? Sieht aus als ständ es schon 3 Jahre hier rum! Und so riehcts tasächlich auch, ekelhaft! säuerlicher, leicht fauliger Antrunk, durchdrungen von unendlicher Wässrigkeit. Leichte Säuerlichkeit im Mittelteil. Fazit: Biere sind nicht für den "Light" Gebrauch gedacht. Test vom 24.4.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 0,2,2,0,6,1 - 1,30

Metallic-golden beer with a just yellowish tinted, cohesive head. Extremely grassy nose, very fresh, slightly leaning towards hay and warm, pale malts. Dry, very dry hayish taste, with a retronasal feeling of toasted malts, but fading away quite quickly. Better than average, however; Medium bodied at best, slight slickness. Pity about the fast fading taste. Initial impression is quite good, better than usual for this brewery.

Bottled as König Ludwig Weissbier Dunkel. Copper-colored, unclear weiss with a dense offwhite head. banana, some caramel, cloves and a little maltyness in the aroma. The flavor has banana, caramel and is quite fruity. Medium body and a hoppy finish with caramel. A bit thin all the way I think. (070121)
