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 At the time of the reunification of Germany in 1989, the brewery was in a technically completely outdated condition.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

Kurzer herber Antrunk, der sich in einen hopfigen Teil ändert. Im Mittelteil milder werdend, später getreidiger, leicht bitter, angenehme Intensität. Die Hopfigkeit wirkt zum Schluss hin etwas platt, die Bitterkeit ist gut dosiert. Test vom 2.2.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,10,11,11,7,10 - 10,25

Herb-malziger Antrunk. Ebenfalls ab dem Antrunk ist das Bier mäßig getreidig, was mit der Zeit abnimmt. Die nicht sehr dichte Malznote wird stärker, aber nicht intensiver. Dazu stößt eine leicht irritierende Alkholnote, die nach und nach in einen wässrigen Gewürzton umschlägt. Milder Nachgeschmack, der vor allem vom (Röst-)Malz gelenkt wird. Test vom 29.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,9,9,6,9,9 - 8,25

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel and lesser notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of alcohol and metal, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle: Pale golden, small white head with a little lace, faint pale-malty and bitter nose with a faint touch of cardboard; moderate bitter-sweet flavour with a discreet acidity, light bodied; traces of citrousy hops in the usual short bitter-sweet finish. An average thirst quencher.......

Bottle, 6.5%. Semi-sweet, fresh metal aroma, better than it sounds. Clear coper colour, slightly frothy head. The flavour starts off a little sweet, turning peppery. Quite malty also. Hint of rough hops, but well hidden by malt and in good balance with the alcohol. Sweet in the way I like it.

(swing top bottle) Slightly hazy, amber colour with a medium-sized, slowly lacing yellowish foam. Moderately sweet malty, slightly toasty aroma. Initially sweet malty, later drying out, getting slightly bitter towards the malty finish with delicate, well-balanced hops. Nothing special, but pretty drinkable.
