description Erdinger Alkoholfrei Overview
Erdinger Alkoholfrei is a German alcohol-free wheat beer produced by Erdinger Weissbrau. It retains the cloudy appearance, carbonation, yeast character, and grain-derived flavors associated with Bavarian wheat beer while containing a small residual amount of alcohol rather than being strictly alcohol-free in the literal sense. The brewery also markets it as an isotonic drink, and it is intended for consumers seeking a wheat-beer profile with substantially less alcohol than conventional beer.
