    Just a half liter (4-pack)

    Looking at my picture again made me realize it made the can look disproportionately big. Sorry, didn't mean to mislead. :slight_smile:

    A little update to this thread -- I just bought some Tucher Helles in 4-pack cans. They have a clear canning and (suggested?) best by date ink-jetted to the bottom of their cans.

    However, they're one of the German breweries that give their beer a 15 month shelf life, but probably shouldn't.

    My cans were filled in June of 2024, with a BB of September, 2025. The overall flavor and character are falling off compared to their Helles I tried when they first started exporting.
