Erdinger Oktoberfest
Erdinger's festival wheat beer, sold in Germany as Festweiße and brewed with a higher original gravity of 13.2 °P, which makes it slightly stronger than the classic Weissbier. It pours an intense golden yellow with an even, fine haze and a fine white head. The nose is lightly fruity and fresh, with delicate notes of hops and yeast; the palate combines smooth malt with a noticeable hop bitterness over a strong, well-rounded body. Gentle carbonation keeps it lively, and the finish is supple and full.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Erdinger Oktoberfest
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
