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.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, mid-sized persistent beige head, quite solid earthy-herbal hoppy nose with a sweet pale-malty background; solid bitter-sweet flavour, soft and medium bodied; lingering sweet malty and nutty finish with tons of herbal hops in the aftertaste. An unexpected gem from the German Democratic Republic.....

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a medium-sized off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel, roasted peanuts and a tinge of alcohol. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Cara-malty and slightly toasted taste with caramel, a nutty touch and light but rounded herbal hops; sweet and moderately bitter, slightly herbal finish with a well-hidden alcohol. Decent and not too sweet Bock. 11.I.10

Bottle. It pours a nice-looking clear golden body under a white to off-white head. The aroma has some wet cardboard, but is mostly pale malts and fruity hops. Malts and hops blend nicely in the flavor but fails to leave a lasting impression. Some bitterness too. Medium body, dry. Slightly metallic in the finish. Not my beer, but I bet it would go down easily when lawn mowing. 090821

Bottle, 6.5%. The aroma is OK malty, seems to have a slightly rough hoppiness. Clear grey amber colour. OK tan head. The flavour is a lot like the aroma. It starts off quite malty, turning quite alcoholic in the finish. OK cleansing hoppiness.

Bottle 0,5l received as a gift from our friend Michael. Thanks! Good looking: Golden copper colored with a creamy tanned head that lasted for a while. Aroma of sweet malt with fruity notes. Inviting. Very soft mouthfeel. Low carbonation. The flavor is roasted malt with hints of corn & grass. The finish is a tad sweet overtaken by a fruity bitterness. KI=8
