Description
In 1887 the breweries of Karl Kürschner & Co. and the Gfirm of the Bohring Brothers were combined into the Vereinsbrauerei Apolda AG, and thereby the foundation for today's private brewery was laid. In 1952, during the GDR era, the brewery was renamed VEB Vereinsbrauerei Apolda and in 1969 incorporated into the VEB Getränkekombinat Erfurt. After the reunification, the brewery was privatized in 1991 and has been in private hands again since then.

Tap at Ruinen Romantik in Quedlinburg. Dark. Caramel, malt, melanoidin, metallic; slightly oxidised. Soft, light, then comes the caramel. Needs more body. Not undrinkable.

0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 24.01.26. Cloudy amber in the glass. Nearly two finger stable light beige head. Looks good. Dry dusty malty, some hay on the nose. Taste is malty, increasing dry blockmalz, short fruity sequenze in the beginning. Soft but present bitterness. Some sweetness in the aftertaste. Above average carbonated. Okay.
