After 75 years of ''abstinence'', the old craft tradition of brewing beer in Zwönitz was brought back to life. On May 17, 1997, a brewery was opened in the old "Schützenhaus". 10-20 hectoliters of beer are produced here every week, strictly according to the German Purity Law.

Hazy orange colour with thin soapy head. Aroma and flavour are quite strong with syrupy, reduced fruits. Has a dull bitterness. Misses some crispness.

Well made dark crisp lager, pretty much perfectly to style as it's in BJCP's examples of the style. Made exactly how it is supposed to be. 2018 Advent Kalendar

330ml bottle, thanks to Kolschtrinker. Pours dark brown, small off-white head. Smoky malty nose. Light on the palate, some prominent smoky, nutty notes, semi-sweet malt, woody moments, moderately strong alcohol tang. Ok.

Wonderfully dark and smokey, but not too much roast. Great body and nice complexity .Craft beer store dresden.

Growler from the brewery. Beer in the glass looks good, zippy, nice head. Malty-spicy aroma. Starts fine malty-spicy, modest dry. Light bitter notes. Finish well balanced, less dry, mild sweetness. Also some caramel hints. Nice one!

Pour a quite dark amber. But there isn't a whole lot of flavour to this beer. It tastes quite light and crisp, with very little malt sweetness. Craft beer store Dresden

VERY smokey. Not a whole bunch of malt whisky type flavour because of the mask of smoke. But the smoke is at least an enjoyable smoke. Craft beer dresden.
