Blend

Malted barley (bottom-fermenting yeast); brewed with more hops than the Weissbier variant — no wheat used. Ingredients: water, malted barley, hops (per Reinheitsgebot).

Tasting Profile

Bright golden in colour with a soft white head; aromas of fresh bread, light honey, and delicate floral hops. On the palate it is smooth and balanced with gentle malt sweetness, subtle hop bitterness, and a clean, crisp, refreshing finish.

Region

Erding is a historic brewing town in Upper Bavaria (Oberbayern), Germany, with a brewing tradition stretching back centuries. Bavaria is the heartland of German lager culture and the birthplace of the Reinheitsgebot (Purity Law) of 1516, which mandates that beer be brewed only from water, malt, hops, and yeast.

Price Context

Approximately £4.00 per 500ml bottle in the UK; around $4 per 750ml (ex-tax) in the US per Wine-Searcher averages.
