ERDINGER – Weissbier
A traditional Bavarian top-fermented wheat ale, Erdinger Weissbier is a hefeweizen made with the finest quality wheat, malt and hops. The strength of this classic wheat beer lies in the harmonious balance between various aromas. Gentle spices and yeast aromas blend with mildly bitter hops. The invigorating carbon dioxide ensures its typical liveliness. A premium beer whose full-bodied, yet elegant character, leaves a lasting impression of ultimate Bavarian enjoyment. A truly unique wheat beer! ABV 5.3%
Tasting Notes
Cloudy, fresh and radiant straw color with a bright white head that holds well. The aroma is fresh and aromatic with fine floral notes. The body is medium-light, which combines with an appropriate level of natural carbonation to give a zesty and creamy mouthfeel. The taste is mildly sweet up front, with the middle of the palate offering notes of citrus – finally finishing with a swirl of elegant hop flavor and bitterness, leaving a clean and refreshing taste.
ABV 5.3%
ERDINGER – Oktoberfest Weissbier
This unique top-fermented wheat ale is made with darker specialty malts (Munich, Vienna, etc.) that both complement its wheat base and enhance the overall depth of malt flavor. Still very highly carbonated, according to Bavarian wheat beer tradition and Erdinger’s secondary fermentation process. Full and satisfying, yet exquisitely refreshing, this beer defies easy categorization but has an incredible depth of flavor.
Tasting Notes
Erdinger Oktoberfest blends the advantages of our well-known weissbier with the traditional Oktoberfest taste. Appearance is a cloudy body with some amber hints.
The head is frothy, pleasantly white with a soft texture. Lacing starts with a series of rings but soon breaks into abstract art as the glass progresses. Residual carbonation is
very lively. Driven by the proprietary Erdinger yeast, aroma and taste consists of fruit, clove and mild graininess, finishing with a sweet malt backbone. This seasonal beer is available from September through October. ABV 5.7%
ERDINGER – Brauhaus Helles
First time in Tennessee! This bottom-fermented traditional Bavarian helles-style lager brings the quality and freshness of authentic German beer to Nashville Oktoberfest.
