ERDINGER Pikantus

Stimulates the taste buds.

Complex and intensive – Pikantus is an outstanding example of Bavarian brewing skills. The dark chocolate colour of our wheat bock already gives connoisseurs a first hint of what to expect: a rich symphony of aromas. The well-rounded body and rich malt flavour of the Pikantus that develops on the palate includes notes of plum and dark chocolate, as well as a hint of liquorice. Sparkling carbonic acid sets a refreshing counterpoint. Its silky-smooth character lingers on the palate – as an aperitif it provides a wonderful start to a festive meal.

Our tip: For a Bavarian aperitif, divide a bottle of Pikantus between two connoisseur glasses or larger wine glasses.

The right glass

Tailor-made for our Pikantus – allowing the aromas to fully unfold:

  • The beer’s multi-layered aromas can develop particularly strongly in this elegantly curved glass. The narrow opening brings the aromas together and concentrates them.
  • When drinking, the wheat beer first hits the middle of the tongue. This enables its bitterness and fine acidity to be experienced first. After longer contact with the palate, the flavour is rounded out by the beer’s delicate sweetness.
  • The Connoisseur Glass allows the complex character of the beer to fully develop and ensures a long-lasting taste experience.

Tip for connoisseurs


An aperitif (from the Latin aperire = open) stimulates the appetite and sharpens the senses for the delights ahead. Our Pikantus is a delicious overture to any meal!

We have the right wheat beer for every taste.
