In 1810, the Eibau brewery was established by the Zittau brewing community.
The location of Eibau was confirmed by King Friedrich August I (1806-1827 King of Saxony) as the first rural brewery in the Zittau area. Since then, beer has been brewed here in the heart of the Upper Lausitz.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear gold color with a small khaki head and decent retention. Scattered lacing. Very light aroma of any kind. Maybe some pale malt? Very light pale malt flavor too, with a slightly boozy finish. Tastes like a smoother than average malt liquor. No bad notes; just kinda bland. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay.

I probably will say this several times. All the German beer reviews are similar because they taste similar but great. Clear gold in color with a three-finger white head. Aroma is well-balanced with grains forward. Taste is also well-balanced with grains forward.
