Description
The Reichenbrand brewery has been brewing beer in the west of Chemnitz in the 5th generation since 1874.

Bergt Bräu from Reichenbrand, still a household name for many Chemnitz residents. Never completely gone, but gone for a moment. Not voluntarily, because in the GDR everything had to belong to everyone. With this, Bergt Bräu became Reichenbrander in the “80s” and “90s”. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Bergt Bräu has been back, at least in the trademark of the Reichenbrand brewery and thus on the labels again - albeit unnoticed by some. So in 2020 we thought it was time to start the Bergt Bräu revival in a new outfit.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Only modest turbid. Starts malty, a bit grasy, the finish is very yeasty. Well balanced. Very drinkable and good beer!

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma sweet with notes of straw and malt, and so is the flavor. The finish is dry and quite bitter.

bottle. Slightly hazy golden yellow, large and persistent white head. Hoppy nose. Medium-bodied with a solid malty background and a lovely toppy touch. Aromatic and bitter at the same time, with unusual but very pleasant hints of hazelnut and walnut. Soft and velvety carbonation - with a long finish. An excellent Kellerbier, superb stuff.

Frisch malzig-getreidiger Antrunk, mild. Etwas würziger werdend, leicht süß. Weiterhin getreidig, im Abgang merkt man dann doch noch, dass das Bier nur 3,4% hat, dies ist aber keine ausgeprägt Note. Zudem erneut frisch-würzig und etwas malzig. Ein sehr interessantes Bier und wohl eins der besten Leichtbiere überhaupt (wenn man es denn dort einordnen kann)! Test vom 30.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,11,11,11,11 - 11,00
