ERDINGER Pikantus (Weizen-Bock)
The Bavarian specialty for lovers of strong beer - With 7.3% alcohol content, this dark bock beer owes its strong and full flavor to the use of selected dark wheat and barley malts and a significantly longer maturing process. With its higher alcohol content ERDINGER’s brewmasters have succeeded in creating the unique Pikantus flavor. For many connoisseurs, ERDINGER Pikantus is the perfect example of a strong specialty wheat beer that is still easy to drink.

ERDINGER Pikantus (Weizen-Bock) Tasting Notes
TASTING NOTES
A chocolate-coffee colored pour with a large mountain of light brown foam caused by the use of dark malts and the swirled-bottle yeast. The nose finds a delightful balance of maltiness and yeast. A pleasantly strong spice aroma is also present but not at all overpowering. The first few sips tickle the tongue with carbonation. You’ll find tastes of dried fruit, grapes and a hint of clove. As the glass progresses, the head persists beautifully on the side of the glass. Throughout the pint, the sides of the tongue and the palate are impressed by a light creamyness. The after taste lingers and quickly changes to dried apricot and slight alcohol.
