About This Beer
Erdinger Pikantus Weizenbock is a masterclass in strong wheat brewing. Produced by Erdinger Weissbräu in Erding, Bavaria, it represents one of the more powerful expressions of German wheat beer tradition. With a robust ABV of 7.3%, Pikantus is brewed to the Weizenbock style — essentially a strong bock beer made with wheat — combining the richness of dark malts with the signature yeast complexity of a weissbier. For those shopping for craft beer online or in our craft beer shop Dublin, it offers an indulgent experience that highlights the depth of German brewing heritage.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep chestnut brown with ruby undertones and a thick, creamy tan head that laces beautifully.

  • Aroma: Layers of caramel, chocolate, dark bread, and dried fruit with subtle clove and nutmeg spice from the yeast.

  • Flavour: Rich malt sweetness upfront, delivering notes of toffee, dark fruit, and cocoa, balanced by gentle wheat spiciness and a smooth alcoholic warmth.

  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and velvety with moderate carbonation, finishing long, warming, and satisfyingly complex.

About the Brewery
Founded in 1886, Erdinger Weissbräu is one of the most iconic wheat beer breweries in the world. Still family-owned and fiercely proud of its Bavarian roots, the brewery is renowned for its consistency, tradition, and international reach. Erdinger has built a reputation not just for its classic Weissbier but also for exploring the breadth of wheat beer styles — from light Kristallweizen to bold Weizenbock. Pikantus is one of its strongest and most characterful beers, often described as the “doppelbock of wheat beers,” making it a flagship in Erdinger’s diverse portfolio.

Food Pairings
The intensity of Erdinger Pikantus makes it a natural partner for robust dishes. Pair it with roasted meats such as beef, lamb, or venison, or enjoy it with stews and casseroles that can stand up to its richness. Mature cheeses like aged gouda or blue cheese create excellent contrasts, while desserts such as dark chocolate mousse or spiced fruitcake highlight its sweet, malty side.

Those who appreciate bold flavours will find Pikantus rewarding, but it also serves as an excellent introduction to the Weizenbock style. To compare, explore our full Wheat Beer collection, which includes lighter hefeweizens, darker dunkelweizens, and other variations on the theme of wheat brewing.

For an even broader journey, expand your horizons with international favourites. Browse our Belgian Beer, German Beer, Irish Craft Beer, or Beer Kegs to create the perfect selection.
