Description
The brewery was founded as a “Rittergutsbrauerei” (manorial brewery) in 1840 by the Heydenreich family. The brewery was completely rebuild in 1890/1891 and was renewed again in 1933. In 1946 the authorities confiscated the brewery and it was incorporated into the Weimar consumer cooperative the following year. With the collapse of the GDR, however, an eventful time began for the brewery: Several investors were interested in the brewery's continued existence, but one after the other failed in this project. So it happened that in 1995, after more than 150 years of history, no more beer was brewed in Ehringsdorf. In 1999 the Wagner family from Pößneck, owners of the Rosen Brauerei, acquired the brewery site. In 2002 the construction of a new brewhouse with fermentation and storage tanks started. Beer has been brewing again in Ehringsdorf since spring 2003, of course according to original recipes.

500ml bottle. Clear amber colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally grainy, caramel malty aroma, grassy hoppy overtones. Taste is dry, metallic, subtle malt sweetness. Can’t find anything in this.

At the Restaurant Bratwurstglöck’l, Weimar (thanks Plavec!). Yellow-golden shiny body, lively carbonation. Soft malty grainy nose, very light dust. Nice actually. Soft grainy maltiness, light nice lemony hop, again some acidity. Again the taste feels just a bit too subdued but it should be nice fresher than this.

Draught at Restaurant Bratwurstglöck’l, Weimar. Poured a bronze body with a white head. Light, very light slightly oily malty nose. Light, vaguely toasty soft malty taste attacked by some acidity. Understated but ok.

Bottle, Café Wagner. Golden colour. Light malty nose. Soft malty taste, light salty hopiness with some flowery notes and vague soapiness. Most people seemed to like this actually, and yeah, it’s quite drinkable, so yay.

[9/21/11] Mahleket Hanikot Shotrim ’11 tour. Bottle in some bar in Weimar. Clear golden with a small white head that disappears immediately. Aroma of a bit of malt, light graininess and a bit of noble hops. Sweetish grainy flavor with a bitter and somewhat herbal finish. Light-bodied.

Süßlicher, leicht wässriger Malzantrunk, der etwas halbherzig erscheint. Weiter malzig, kurz süß, wenig ausgeprägt, imemr wieder funkt die Wässrigkeit dazwischen. Eher herb als malzig, muffig, aber auch dies wird von der Wässrigkeit verdrängt. Zum Ende trocken. Schlecht. 10/7/6/4/6/4

Small white head. Slightly pale yellow body. Sugary perfumy aroma with oily toffee notes. Dry-sweet perfumy white wine and grapes taste with papery notes. Light body. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry perfumy papery grape aftertaste. Taste rather artificial, and very unusual. Didn’t really enjoy. (0.5l bottle, as a gift.)

Bottled. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel - simple for a bock.
