Walked out to the Brauhaus from the centre of Pirna on 11th May 2017. This was the second of the four beers they had on tap that I tried. Red hue to the dark brown body, beige head. Malts all the way here, they rule both the nose and taste, lightly roasted, over toasted malts aroma and flavour wise. Semi-sweet overall and easy to drink.

Walked out to the Brauhaus from the centre of Pirna on 11th May 2017. This was the first of the four beers they had on tap that I tried. Half a litre of this was very pleasant. All their beers are unfiltered, so this came a cloudy, dull yellow with a white foaming head. Slight herbal nose with a hoppy front in both the aroma and taste. Decent blend with the semi-sweet malts just about losing out with their battle against the hop bitterness.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours hazy coffee brown with stable beige head. Clear aroma of caramel malt, with notes of yeast and some bready touches. Sweetish flavour of malt,mcaramel and yeast, with notes of hops and some bready and metallic touches. Bitterish aftertaste with estery notes. Agreeable but not fantastic.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours hazy straw with stable white head. Clear aroma of yeast and hops, with some malty notes. Sweetish, malty and estery flavour with mild, hoppy notes. Bready touches. Estery aftertaste. Rather tame but quite easily drinkable and refreshing.

Malziger, deutlich klebriger Antrunk mit schwachem, fast wässrigen Hintergrund. Etwas hopfig, die Aromen lassen mit der Zeit deutlich nach. Das Bier wirkt monton und lasch, im Abgang trocken malzig. 8/7/6/6//6

Wässriger, gleichzeitig aber sehr gewürziger Antrunk, vor allem Zimt ist erkennbar, danaben aber auch deutlich Ingwer. Insgesamt schmeckt das Ganze etwas wie ein mit Wasser aufgefüllter Aschenbecher, wenig harmonisch, stumpf, oberflächlich. Danke an kappldav123 für das Bier. 5/5/4/5/11/5

Bottled. Near black, creamy head. Careful coffee aroma. Mid-sweet and medium bodied. Some very slight butter is there, but overall it’s a very careful beer - almost shy. Finsihes without bitterness.

Bottled. hazy golden, creamy head. Light grassy fruity nose. Mid sweet with fruit a and sugar, medium bodied. Need more hops and less malt sweetness to qualify as a good pilsener.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass almost black, very spicy aroma. Tastes very strange, a lot of different notes, but not very strong. Unbalanced finsih. Not really convincing, but a nice try.
