38 | Kaltenberg Konig Ludwig Weiss | Germany | Hefeweizen | 4.3
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 This is a dark golden pour, very murky, with a very generous head. Widely available in Ontario in both package and draught form. The aroma is dominated by wheat, banana, clove, and bubble gum. All the things that make Hefes enjoyable. This is sweeter than a Erdinger or a Weihenstephaner, but not as sweet as a Paulaner or a Hacker-Pschorr. |
