Erdinger is traditionally a German wiessbier, one of my favorite from Germany. It is brewed in Erding, Germany, which is in Bavaria, so the south of Germany. I was very pleasantly surprised when we found their Oktoberfest beer at Binny's in Chicago.
Erdinger's Oktoberfest ale is a weiss beer with a citrus flavor that's a little lighter and more easily-drinkable than some other Oktoberfests. It slightly harkens to the hefe weissens you might find in Germany, although is somewhat of a toned-down version of these. It is lighter and not as floral as Erdinger's Weissbier, although the flavor is very similar. I think of Erdinger's Oktoberfest as a floral version of what a classic Oktoberfest beer should taste like. Thumbs up! Everyone should try it, especially because the Bavarians on the bottle are so happy drinking it!
