A few weeks ago, I was enjoying a can of Eichbaum Pilsener and I realized that, sadly, I do not have an Eichbaum beer glass. That situation being simply intolerable, I wandered on over to Ebay as I am often wont to do, and did a search for same. I found one! Of course I did, as you can see in the photo.

About a week later it arrived, and I realized that I had a can of Eichbaum Helles in one of my beer fridges. The rest, as you can again see, is history. Do beers taste better in their own right and proper brewery logo glass? I cannot say that they do, but the aesthetics are pleasing to me, and hopefully to you as well.

Eichbaum says on their website about this beer, which they call there “Braumeister Helles”:

Hellgolden mit vollmundigem Geschmack und malzig-würziger Note. Gebraut nach dem deutschen Reinheitsgebot.

Which means if you don’t speak German:

Light golden with full bodied flavor and a malty-spicy note. Brewed according to the German Reinheitsgebot.

Eichbaum Helles has an alcohol content of 5% by volume and I paid $1.99 for a half liter can from Half Time. This is the same price Total Wine sells it for in Tucson, Arizona. My can is stamped P 11.09.2024 E 11.03.2026.

Eichbaum Helles pours to a pale golden color with a thick head of creamy white foam and a nose of inviting bready sweet malt. Taking a sip, the beer is medium in body and as bready as the nose promised, like white bread with the crusts on. It finishes balanced but not really hoppy, but it is a Helles after all, a style that accentuates the malt.

This is a very tasty Helles at a bargain price. I would certainly buy it again.

Glad I tried it?  T

Would I rebuy it??
