Commercial Description:
Lovers of strong beer need not worry that ERDINGER Weissbier Pikantus 'dark bock beer' is going to be too sweet, as is the case with so many bock beers. Despite the higher alcohol content, the Erding brew masters have succeeded in retaining the special Pikantus taste.

Clear garnet body, tall tan head. Aroma is alcoholic with an almost artificially candy sweetness. Flavor is bland and sweet, with a touch of alcohol, wheat, and not much else. As a weizenbock fan, I’m disappointed.

500ml bottle BB 01.2009. Pours quite a hazy deep bronze body, moderate sized fluffy light-tan head. Nose really reminds me of an aged-homebrewed weizenbock; oxidised dried fruits, burnt caramel, dry wheat malt, musty earthy spice, salty yeast, port-like dark fruit nuances. Palate is rich, thick, moderate but lively carbonation contributing to the sharpness. Plenty of ’aged’ dark fruit on the body; prunes and date, burnt caramel adds some sweetness to the palate, tart cherry, vanilla, clove, rust, sultana and more dried fruit as it warms. Finish is slightly lactic, alcohol is allusive, with a metallic bitterness. Such a familiar tasting beer, having brewed a few weizenbocks in my time. I’d say it’s a slightly unbalanced beer, but that seems to be half the appeal!

330ml Bottle - Gravity Beer Market - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Light wheat aroma with a small hops coming through.
Appearance – Golden in color, Slight haze with a light head.
Flavor – A flavorful wheat beer with some hops. The light grapefruit was subtle.
Palate – Great Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A very nice wheat beer and good for Oktoberfest timing.

essa Weizenbock é o carro-chefe da cervejaria alemã Erdinger, um exemplar de qualidade. Apresenta espuma persistente, cremosa e média, boa formação de colarinho e tonalidade marrom. Seu aroma é composto de banana e ameixa seca, além de notas de cravo, características do estilo. Fareja-se também algo de chocolate meio amargo. Seu sabor é levemente adocicado no começo e torna-se levemente azedo e amargo no final, de curta duração. Seu corpo é leve e aguado, em se tratando de Weizenbocks. Sua carbonatação é alta e seu final, metálico.
