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.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts mild, modest dry, more and more spicy-grasy. Still mild, but not washy. Well balanced finish, quite drinkable. Good beer!

Bottle looks good, reminds me of Freiberger. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts modest dry, spicy, more and more grasy-fresh. Metallically background. Nice pilsener!

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, copper coloured, almost no head. Starts mild, almost a bit washy. Then more and more malty-dry, a bit metallically. Finish more malty, still dry. Okay.

bottle from somewhere in Dresden, Kaufland perhaps. Clear pale yellow, large white head. Malty, pleasantly hoppy with a bitter-sweet character.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Fruity nose. It may have a mid sized body, but it feels blown up and empty. Dead and dull, lacking every bit of character. Mercifully fading out without too much bitterness.
