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.

50 cl bottle @ Timo A, BBE 07/2013
Aroma has butter, some grassy notes and herbs. Flavour has strong herbal notes, some grass, hints of grainy malt and honey. Nice, I like the herbal and grassy notes here. Gets some bohemian pils character at the end of the glass.

Pours a clear and yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malt and DMS. The flavor follows the nose. Overall a boring beer.

Bouteille:Clear, golden with a greenish sheen, loose white head, malty-bready nose with a kind of Bohemian hop-profile; pretty light bodied, malty base detectable, moderate bitter-sweet flavour; slightly lingering herbal-bitter finish with a subdued malty counterpart. Nice, well crafted semi-bohemian Pils…

Reichenbrander Classic Pilsner, Flasche vom Fristo-Getränkemarkt, Chemnitz. - Goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase unangenehm schweißig-muffige Hopfennote, wohl vom Hopfenextrakt. - Mild zitronig-hopfiger Antrunk, nett aber ohne Überraschungen. In der Mitte zitronig-fruchtig und etwas malzsüß aber ohne Bittere, wie Zitronenlimonade. - Abgang nur mild bitter und immer noch etwas süß. - Nettes aber nicht aus dem Rahmen fallendes, etwas zu süß-limonadenähnliches Pilsener ohne ausgeprägte Hopfenaromen. Leider nur mittelmäßig. Für den muffigen Hopfenextrakt gibt's noch Punktabzug. (9.8.2014.)
