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 At the time of the reunification of Germany in 1989, the brewery was in a technically completely outdated condition.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

Bottled (BZ, BB 12/2010)
Clear golden color, small white head. Grainy and sweetish alcoholic nose. Medium-bodied. Flavor is matching the nose: very grainy, dusty-woody flavor which is similar to many eco-beers. Also decent alcohol and sweetness. Low bitterness. A bit too straightforward pale bock.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Starts very spicy and strong, fine malty notes, also a bit earthy. Well balanced finish, still strong and spicy, modest wheaty. Really good!
