Erdinger Weissbier
What the brewers say
“Gently spicy wheat and yeast aromas blend with mildly bitter hops. The invigorating carbon dioxide ensures its liveliness.”
What our panel thought
“A clean, somewhat yeasty aroma with hints of peach gives way to malt-forward flavor with subtle floral hops and lightly spicy or peppery notes. The carbonic bite strips off all but the malty sweetness from the palate, leaving a somewhat peculiar finish.”
What our editors thought
“Only the briefest hit of honey malt comes through in the search for a nose, but the sip brings more oxidative honey heft and an indistinct bitterness.”
