Description
In 1894 the Obergärige Brauerei Heinrich Reissdorf was founded by Heinrich Reissdorf in the Cologne Severins neighbourhood. In 1923 the brewery started to brew bottom-fermented beers and it became the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf. Through the years it stayed in the family.

In 1996, the Privat-Brauerie Heinrich Reissdorf acquired today's company premises in the industrial area of Cologne-Rodenkirchen. With the new production facility, a brewery was created, which is equipped with the latest brewery technology and meets the highest quality standards.

Tap at the brewhouse. Lovely glassware here. Hazed too. Looks like a wheat beer. Has a wheat beer character throughout actually. Yeasty. Lemony and herbal. Nice one although I liked it less than the missus who was very taken with it.

Süß-säuerlicher, frisch fruchtiger Beginn nach Zitrone und Limette, leicht brotig. Erfrischend, limonadig, Bier ist nicht erkennbar. Okay für den erfrischenden Charakter. 7/6/11/6/4/6

0,33 l bottle from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! BB 24.12.2025. Drunk at home out of a Reissdorf glass! :-) Cloudy yellow golden, big white foamy head. Looks good. Grainy nose, little bit sourness in the background. Taste is soft grainy, citrus hints, pale bready with malt in the background. Low bitterness, low carbonated. Easy drinking stuff.

Ich habe gar nicht gewusst, dass es das beliebte "Gold" 🪙, also ein leichtes Sommerbier oft mit Mais 🌽 auch als Alkoholfreies gibt.
Aber hie rhat man sich das getraut und ich muss zugeben, das es gar nicht schlecht ist 😔.
Wenn schon leichtes Sommerbier 🌞, dann ruhig gleoch ganz ihne Alk.
Dazu ein brauchbarer Körper mit freundlichen Getreidenoten.
Nicht der große Aromenreigen, aber für den Sommer wirklich zu empfehlen.
