Description
In 1356, with the decree of the Golden Bul by Emperor Charles IV, the cities in the Holy Roman Empire, including Wittichenau, were granted the right to brew beer. The beer was largely brewed in private, business and trading houses. In Wittichenau a common brewery was founded in 1435, this is considered as the year of foundation of the brewery. In 1940 the brewery was acquired by Eduard Glaab. It is the oldest private brewery in Saxony and has been run as a family business by the Glaabs for three generations now.

The bottle looks hippy but somehow "no name". Modest zippy in the glass, small head. Starts mild, modest fruity, not too sweet. Notes of lemon. Finish almost washy. Drinkable, but nothing special!
