Erdinger Pikantus Weizenbock is a strong, full-bodied beer that showcases the best of Bavarian brewing traditions. Produced by the renowned Erdinger Weissbräu, one of Germany's premier wheat beer brewers, this beer is a true testament to the brewery's dedication to quality and consistency. Erdinger, established in 1886 in the town of Erding, has long been a leader in brewing, focusing on producing high-quality Weissbier (wheat beer) that adheres to the German Purity Law, the Reinheitsgebot. The brewery's reputation for excellence has made it a household name among wheat beer enthusiasts around the world.

Pikantus, part of Erdinger’s range of seasonal bock beers, is brewed as a Weizenbock, a wheat-based variant of the traditional strong bock beer style. This beer provides the perfect balance of smooth wheat beer notes and the strength of a bock, creating a unique taste experience. Pikantus is brewed with top-quality ingredients, including malted wheat, barley, Hallertau hops, and a unique strain of Erdinger’s house yeast. The result is a beer with a rich, dark hue and a complexity that invites exploration.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Erdinger Pikantus pours a rich, deep chestnut brown, slightly hazy from the wheat, with a thick, creamy off-white head that leaves behind beautiful lacing. Its inviting appearance sets the stage for the depth of flavour that follows.

  • Aroma: The aroma bursts with malt sweetness, featuring notes of caramel, dark fruits like prunes and figs, and hints of roasted malt. The yeast also imparts subtle spice, adding layers to the scent.

  • Flavour: Pikantus is robust and full-bodied. It offers a delightful balance between malt sweetness, with flavours of caramel and toffee, and spicy yeast characters like cloves and nutmeg. Dark fruit flavours such as plum and raisin add richness to the beer, while the roasted malt brings a slight bitterness that balances the sweetness.

  • Mouthfeel: With medium carbonation, Pikantus has a smooth and velvety mouthfeel. The body is strong but not overwhelming, making it an excellent sipping beer. The finish is long and warming, with lingering malty sweetness.

Brewery History:

Erdinger Weissbräu has a storied history that dates back to 1886, when it was first established in Erding, Bavaria. The brewery has remained dedicated to producing traditional Weissbiers, using only the finest ingredients and adhering to time-honoured brewing practices. Today, Erdinger is not only Germany’s largest wheat beer brewery but also one of the most respected in the world.

Erdinger’s commitment to quality has earned it numerous accolades, and its beers are enjoyed by beer lovers worldwide. Pikantus is part of Erdinger's seasonal bock range, a line of beers that exemplify the brewery's skill in creating bold, flavourful brews that remain balanced and enjoyable. Pikantus has earned a loyal following among fans of strong wheat beers and is particularly enjoyed during the colder months.

Food Pairings:

The bold and rich flavour profile of Erdinger Pikantus makes it a versatile beer for food pairings. Its malty sweetness and complex spice notes enhance a variety of dishes:

  • Roasted Meats: Pikantus pairs beautifully with roasted pork, beef, or lamb, complementing the caramelisation of the meat with its own roasted malt notes.
  • Hearty Stews: The strong flavours of Pikantus can stand up to rich, hearty stews, particularly those made with beef or game.
  • Strong Cheeses: Serve Pikantus alongside aged Gouda or blue cheese, as the beer’s sweetness balances the saltiness of the cheese, creating a harmonious pairing.
  • Desserts: Pikantus also works well with desserts, particularly those with dark chocolate or caramel. The beer’s malty sweetness complements these rich flavours.

Whether paired with food or enjoyed on its own, Erdinger Pikantus offers a rewarding drinking experience that is sure to please lovers of bold, complex wheat beers.
