I actually drank Konig Ludwig Weisbier Hell, but I can’t seem to find it here, and I this beer’s label appears to be somewhat close to KLWH, so... Floral aroma, with citrus. It’s a pale golden cloudy beer, with a white foam.

Bottle. White head, transparent, sparse lacing, carbonated, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty, banana, spicy and clove. Flavor was sweet, banana, spicy and malty. Mouthfeel was smooth. Medium bodied hefe.

Good weissbier, but unfortunately it becomes a little weak because of the low alcohol content. Works to the center-of-weeks food.

Bottled (BB 03/2011, PBF)
Cleat golden color (not when yeast added), decent white head. Bubblegum and clove in the nose. Light palate, but decent taste: banana, bubblegum. Ok beer for being 2.9%.

Looks like a foggy Helles, bad head though. Aroma and taste are like the big brother and the body is surprisingly full for a light beer. Not bad at all.

0.5 l bottle (as König Ludwig Weissbier Leicht) at Petalax Beer Festival 2010. Pale golden color. Peppery, clovey, dry and tart aroma. Dry wheaty, peppery and clovey flavor with some banana and lemon. Good leichte weisse.

Pours pale hazy yellow with large fluffy long lasting white head. Refreshing wheat with some spicy hops in nose. Wheat and some banana in flavor. Nice bitterness in finish. A nice light alternative.

Had the bottle that says König Ludwig Weissbier Leicht. Decent wheat. Pours hazy orange/yellow with thick white head. Notes of citrus and yeast on the nose. Tastes similar and highly carbonated. Not the best but easy to drink.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2009 Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with big frothy head. Banana esters and bubblegum aroma, with a sourish twist. Little dough as well. Very light bodied and milky acidic. Big on Co2 and low on phenols and malt. Notes of canned fruits here.
Earlier Rating: 7/12/2007 Total Score: 1.9
Bottled. Cloudy dark orange colour with creamy head. Bit papery aroma with mackerel suggestions along with banana esters. Light bodied and low on the phenols but they are there in the shape of tin or any metal. Mackerel is noticed in aroma as well. Big on the Co2, as it should be. Being a German Hefeweizen, some things aint what they should be due to the low alcohol.

½L bottle from Coop Konsum, Kosta. Pours cloudy yellow with beige head. Sweet aroma. Some yeast in the bottle. Crisp flavour. Not bad, if you’re stuck in Sweden.
