Privatbrauerei Eichbaum

 

 

500ml can. Date stamp on bottom is 'P12/09/2024 17234 E12/03/2026 L256'. Label has ABV% at 4.8%.
Clear, straw colored body. One thick finger of white head persists as a full cap and higher ring. Leaves behind a lattice pattern on the non-drinking side of the glass.
Aroma is faint with grain malts.
Taste is sweet, bready, with a bitter note for balance. Toasted malts and green apple/pear. Aftertaste reverts to more sweetness.
Medium mouthfeel. Clean, wet, and slightly crispy. Some tongue sting. Excellent carbonation.
Unobtrusive, and mild in expression - all in a good way.

 

This is a good, solid Pilsner. It is not as hoppy as Northern Pilsners, like Jever, but it is still crisp and refreshing. There is a pronounced dry biscuit taste that is the most noticeable in the first sips. It should rate better than good.

Wow never heard of this one before...hops extract as opposed to actual hops.

Top notch head and colour. Very German aroma, reminds me a little of Radeberger, possibly my favourite German pils.

Taste is very high in honey. And the light hops extract bitterness just about adds to this honey taste, as opposed to balancing it. Still, it works pretty well. But it is pretty light and the hops extract gives it a rather simple, as opposed to full complex flavour. Mouth feel is quite creamy and the hops extract bitterness comes through in the aftertaste.

Totally drinkable and ok, though rather light and I would prefer more punchy hops like in Radeberger.

 

On tap at Frankford Hall in Philadelphia.

Poured a clear golden color with a frothy white head with decent retention and plenty of lacing as you drink. Aroma is bready pilsner malts and floral, grassy hops. Flavor is the same with a lovely pilsner malt backbone, bready with a hint of toasted creamed corn. Grassy, floral hoppiness provides a lovely bitterness to balance it out. Medium bodied with light, creamy carbonation, this one drinks very smooth and clean. A very good pilsner, quite delicious and a lovely mouthfeel. I had two half liters and would gladly have more. Prost!

 

 

 

Good Pils!! Robust flavor. I received 3 of these from a 3-month beer club gift. Poured from a 500 ml can into a "Budweiser Select" Pilsner glass. this beer features a clear light golden color, a big foamy white head with good retention and lotsof lacing. Aroma and taste are strong: bready, slightly sour malt up front and grassy hops with more than mild bitterness to back it up. Mouthfeel was crisp and light. I had this with a spicy pork and noodle stir fry dish and it held up well. It would be equally good as a session beer. I plan on having the other two with my Super Bowl snacks!!

4.8% ABV.

 

 

Clean and yellow body, lots of lacing and surprisingly low carbonation. Body medium to thin. Smell is high grass, herbal notes, taste follows the nose with some bready maltiness up front but a strong dry grassy hops finish. Easy dry bitterness on the mouthfeel. Very refreshing and amazingly low carbonation for the style. The taste stays with you all the way and doesn't fade. Superb pilsner beer that sadly have only tried once as my local slashed it's collection of German brews and no longer stocks this beer.

 

 

500 ml can. Clear light golden color with white head. Aroma has sourdough and fermented grains, some grassy hops as well. Taste is a bit acrid and grainy with almost no hop bitterness, just a hint on the aftertaste. Not really bad but neither good.
