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.

Pale greenish golden with white foamy head. Herbal hop aroma plus the Wittichnauer signature dusty-gunpowdery note. Lightbodied and tasteless, flat mouthfeel. The Sorbic wizard deserves better.

Pale golden, creamy lacing white head. Grassy bittering hop aroma. Fairly lightbodied, but otherwise ordinary german pils - thin malt base followed by a dry bitterhop exit and aftertaste. Slightly sticky mouthfeel.

Dark chestnut colouring, fluffy and lacing brown head. Very light roasty aroma. Dough and roast and that weird spicy note (nuts, soy, acid, gunpowder, vegetables) that was in the Lausitzer Pils as well - not as awfull here as in the light pilsner, but still not good - they should consider changing their yeast. Relatively lightbodied, sticky mouthfeel, fungus aftertaste.
