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.

Although they don't know how to make a decent pilsener, the germans sure can brew good wheats! This one is a fine piece of german wheat brewing. Very tasteful on a hot day climbing the mountain to Schloss Neuschwanstein! --- Beer merged from original tick of König Ludwig Weissbier Hell / Royal Bavarian Hefe-Weizen on 28 Mar 2013 at 18:05 - Score: 7

(500 ml bottle, under its alias König Ludwig Weissbier). Cloudy blond colour, large head. Lovely aroma of ripe bananas and cloves. Light bodied, some cloves in the flavour, refreshing. Like most weissbiers a short aftertaste, but what there is, is good.

Cloudy blond color. An initial wave of banana aroma, disappearing quite quickly. Spicy taste, but poor in all the rest, with a too simple final.

Served in a tall Konig Ludwig glass, without a lemon. The beer was just like every german wheat, hazy pale yellow with a very dense pale white colour. The aroma was subdued, not too much to it. A few floral notes, and the typical yeastie smell. The taste was mild but pretty good. Defiately easy on the palate with no complex flavours to deal with. A great all-around german wheat which should be tasted if you can find it. Tasted on Tap under the name: Konig Ludwig Weissbier at MacGregor's in Rochester, New York.

An unclear dark yellow beer with a flat head. The aroma is a lovely wheaty aroma with a slight sweetness to it. The flavor is slightly flat wheaty flavor with an OK sweetness but too little wheat. It ends on a weak bitterness. A really refreshing summer beer - but other than that a boring too flat too thin beer. Enjoy it in the sun.

Opaque yellow color with white head.Light citrus yeast nose and flavor. Quite refreshing, and true to style, but I'm not a fan of this type of yeasty brew

[Keg] Blond beer, poor head. Cheap aroma; some fruitness. Lager with a sweeter body, not interesting.

An unclear (unfiltered) amber beer with an OK head. It has a very powerful aroma of fruit, probably because it''s topfermented. It has a very wheaty (unmalted) taste - of a nice malt blend but is pretty sour. It''s an OK beer, but nothing special.
