What Is a German Weizenbock?
Weizenbock is a traditional Bavarian strong wheat beer style that combines the distinctive character of German Weissbier with the richer malt flavours and higher alcohol strength of Bock beer.
Unlike a typical pale wheat beer, a dark Weizenbock often delivers deeper flavours of caramel, toasted bread and dried fruit alongside the familiar banana and clove notes produced by traditional wheat beer yeast.
ERDINGER Pikantus is a classic example of this style, offering a satisfying balance of fruity yeast character, rich malt sweetness and warming strength.
Its distinctive flavour profile makes it particularly appealing to beer enthusiasts who enjoy traditional German brewing and want to explore more complex wheat beer styles.
