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 At the time of the reunification of Germany in 1989, the brewery was in a technically completely outdated condition.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.

Malzig-herber Antrunk. Wenig karamellig, das Malz verschwindet dann weitestgehend wieder und hinterlässt ein weitestgehend leeres Bier, in dem nur die später passende Herbe in mildem Maße vorhanden ist. Wenig hopfig im Abgang neben der erwähnten Herb, frisch aber langweilig. Dass dies ein Dunkles ist erkennt man hier kaum. 7/9/8/7/8/7

Bottle. Bready malt aroma. Light golden colour with a thin head. Malt with some bread and a heavy dough and dry and light bitter finish. Strange mix, more to this beer than you expect from the look

500ml bottle thanks to Erzangel for this one. Pale gold, thin white head. Some stale pale malt on the aroma. Some noble hop, some cereal. It’s an ok pils. Bit metallic maybe on the swallow. Some lemon on the finish. Just on the right side of drinkable, but it does have a metallic finish that isn’t very attractive.

Bügelverschlußflasche:A bit hazy, golden, small and stable white foamy layer; sweetish grainy-strawy nose with sparse hops in the background; moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, soft, light to medium bodied; slightly increasing fruity hoppiness in the grainy-malty finish. Nothing wrong with it....
