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.

Geruch hefig säuerlich. Hefiger, definitiv nicht säuerlicher Geschmack. Neben dem schweren hefigen ist auch noch, besonders im Nachgeschmack, ein malziger Ton zu erkennen, was mir sehr zusagt. Es ist nicht gerade eins von den leichten Weizen, sondern schon etwas kräftiger, im Abgang allerdings schon spritzig. Die Kombinationen gefallen mir, ein schönes Weizen!

Schaumkrone: Armselig. Das Bier schmeckt eine light-Variante, das Ganze ist allerdingfs nicht als negativ anzusehen, denn es schmeckt nicht lasch oder dergleichen, es ist einfach nur milder als das Produkt mit Hefe. Fruchtige Aromen sind bei dem Bier weniger erkennbar, dafür ist es um so hefiger. Im Nachgeschmack kommt dann auch eine herbe Note dazu, auch wenn diese nicht stark ausgeprägt ist. Gefällt mir irgendwie. Test vom 29.8.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 4,11,12,11,7,12 - 10,65

A yellow beer with no head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty. Nothing special, but nothing wrong.
