Description
It was more than 335 years ago that Jean de Chaine from Wallonia founded a brewpub in Mannheim which he called Eichbaum, the German translation of his family name. Today, this is one of the largest and most efficient breweries in Baden-Württemberg. It is the oldest company in Mannheim but also one of the most modern. State-of-the-art brewing and bottling technologies make for an annual output of 1.8 million hectolitres. More than 16 different beers and many different trading units make Privatbrauerei Eichbaum an attractive partner.

Can. Gold with a 1/2 inch white head. Generic grainy lager aroma with hints of lemon and spices. Sweetish and clean with some bready richness and rather modest spicy bitterness for a pils. Undistinguished but OK. Seemed to be on the Dan's shelf as a (temporary?) replacement for the execrable Oettinger Pils and shines in comparison.

Not so extraordinary but it is ok, German way to brew at 100%. This one is a but too metalic for me and it is not bready, dry, malty, watery, ordinary note of hop at the final, refreshing, ok for the price, 14.02.21, buying it at the landi, Eyholz, Visp.

Cloudy yellow with a lush off-white head. Wheat bread, banana, fruity notes, distant clove, some grassy hop. Light sweet, low to light hop bitterness. Better than expected.

Wee Can, thanks Dave! Milky golden, white lacing head. Nice cakey tropical and grapeike hop aroma. Lightbodied, slightly tart base, Schorle fizz. Tastes a bit like spritzed mangojuice, quick grassy finish, pithy citrus in the aftestaste. pleasant thirstquencher.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Starts mild, malty, a bit moldy. Fine hoppy background, mild bitterness. Finish again a bit grasy-moldy. Quite drinkable. Not bad!
