Echt Einsiedler Böhmisch

Tap to rate

Full-bodied and malt-aromatic, Echt Einsiedler Böhmisch brings back a piece of the brewery's history: when the Einsiedler Brauhaus 'Emil Schwalbe' became Einsiedler Brauhaus AG in 1903, it was the first beer on the market under the Einsiedler brand name. After more than 100 years it is brewed again, at 5.2% ABV and 26 IBU, from barley malt, hops and water, in a strong golden colour.

◐ Taste

On entry, the palate is full and rounded, delivering generous malt sweetness with a soft bready character that carries through the mid-palate. The modest 26 IBU bitterness arrives gently in the finish, never sharp, allowing the clean malt backbone to remain the focal point. Carbonation is moderate and smooth, supporting a drinking experience that is both satisfying and approachable.
