Tasting Notes
CitruseffervescentSweet Spice
Founded in 1886, the Erdinger Brewery – dedicated to the brewing of wheat beer and wheat beer only – resides in the quaint Bavarian town of Erding, 30 minutes northeast of Munich. Erdinger Weissbier pioneered the awareness and consumption of wheat beer outside of the Bavarian region where it has its roots, remaining in strict compliance with the Bavarian purity law and secondary fermentation that have history and tradition in the region. Erdinger Weissbeer continues to be the world’s largest producer of wheat beer, and one of the last remaining privately owned breweries, still owned and operated by the Brombach family today.
Tasting Notes
Pouring hazy gold with some amber hints. The head is frothy, pleasantly white and with a soft texture. The wheat aroma with a fruit and clove hint combines with a strong malty flavour at the back. Erdinger Oktoberfest blends the advantages of the well known wheat beer with the traditional Oktoberfest taste. A grainy flavour and lovely hoppiness, that lead into a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel.
Method
This is a slightly different take on Oktoberfest. Erdinger brews a weissebier at slightly higher strength and with more body for it’s Oktoberfest beer. Usually this style is a malty golden lager. If you like the taste of the regular Erdinger weissebier then you’ll enjoy this as well. Prost!
