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.

A new product from the brewery. The bottle looks like a fruit beer, but it is not. Looks interesting in the glass, very dark. Dry aroma. Flavor the same, very dry and malty. I don’t really like it.

The bottle looks a little bit boring, the beer in the glass is okay. The aroma is strange, like cough syrup. The flavor is different. Not really fruity, but spicy, the finish a little bit dry. Interesting beer!

Verhalten malziger Antrunk mit vereinzelten hopfigen Bestandteilen. Die leicht süße und getreidige Malzigkeit wird im Mittelteil deutlich stärker, wirkt aber weiterhin verhalten. Der Hopfen spielt hier eine größere Rolle, erkennbar ist nun, dass dieser ein leichtes Banenenaroma aufweist. Im Abgang wird das Malz abermals stärker und nimmt einen leicht röstigen Charackter an, die Süße schwindet zum Glück, so steht das nun kräftige und cremige Malz alleine. Das eindeutig beste Produkt der Brauerei. Test vom 15.1.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,11,12,12,9,12 - 11,70

The bottle looks like a cheap beer. The beer in the glass is not much better. Very zippy, but the foam is fast collapsing. Flavor sourish, in the end really penetrating. Not a good beer.

The bottle looks not too bad. The aroma is very bitter, the beer tastes vapid, the finish is washy. Only an average beer.

Malzig-milder, langsam stärker werdender Antrunk, dazu trifft merkwürdigerweise ein metallerner Ton (Fassbier, wohlgemerkt), der mit der Zeit schwächer wird, aber weiterhin präsent ist. Malzig-saurer Abgang. Danke an Christian, der bei der kleinen Chemnitz-Biertour als Führer und Fahrer agiert hat. Test vom 9.10.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 10,8,7,7,-,7 - 7,47

Bottle: Golden coloured, lively carbonation, small white stable head; sweet-bready/malty nose with a hoppy touch; moderate bitter-sweet taste, very light bodied without being watery; sweet-bready-malty finish with a light but lingering bitterness. Tastes like a heavily diluted Bohemian Pilsener....or like the closest german beer to a czech Desitka.......
