Description
In the years 1891 and 1892, the Gütermann family built a brewery in Saalfeld that was modern from the perspective of the time. During the last days of the war the brewery was completely destroyed. But the brewery was quickly rebuild; from 1948 to 1991 the brewery was state-owned. At the time of the reunification of Germany in 1989, the brewery was in a technically completely outdated condition. In 1991 the brewery became a private company. After large investments the Bürgerliche Brauhaus Saalfeld became a modern brewery. A share of 23% is owned by Kulmbacher Brauerei AG.

50 cl bottle, rated on 20.10.2010
Bright orange colour, small head. Aroma has sweet honey. Flavour is weird and rather unusual for a märzen: it is sweet, harsh and feels like a bock.

Beautiful light amber-copper color; medium sized head. The malt aroma is very simple. The malt flavor is a bit more evident, with light residual sweetness. Easy.

Blond color with a shade of dark; minimal head; it pours oily. Very light aroma, a mix of plastic, hop and alcohol. Good mouthfeel, with a light flavor of malt and almost caramel, correct bitterness, but also a metallic touch. Poor.

Getreidiger, mild würziger Antrunk. Süßlich weich im Mittelteil, die Würzigkeit ist bereits hier nebensächlich und äußerst schwach. Wässrig werdend, nur zum Ende wenig malzig, etwas herb. Hier ist die Würzigkeit wieder etwas stärker und schafft einen angenehmen Abgang. 7/7/8/8/8/7

Weicher und voller hopfig-malziger Antrunk. Zusammen mit einer deutlichen vergorenen Fruchtigkeit geht es in den Mittelteil, das Bier wirkt hier etwas süßer und kann seine Vollmundigkeit halten. Malziger, gleichzeitig auch süßer werdend. Zum Ende etwas brotig, das Bier klingt lange und konstant ab. Süffiger Doppelbock mit ausreichend Tiefgang – nicht schlecht! 9/12/11/12/10/12
