Description
Fürstenberg has been setting the standard for brewing and beer culture since 1283. And the tradition lives on: With a wide range of different beer specialties, the brewery leaves nothing to be desired: from our hoppy Premium Pilsener to our full-bodied Premium Lager and the fully matured Fürstenberg Non-Alcoholic or our sparkling-fresh wheat beers, Fürstenberg embodies a unique diversity in beer culture.

On January 18, 1283, King Rudolf I von Habsburg granted the lands and rights for Baar and Tunôeschingen - now known as Donaueschingen - in fief to Count Heinrich I von Fürstenberg. This included the right to brew beer and to issue concessions for brewing and serving food and drink and to regulate, tax and levy duties on brewing and the serving of food and drink.

After Count Joseph Wilhelm Ernst zu Fürstenberg moved his seat of power to Donaueschingen, the demand for our beer started to grow. Construction of the new brewery began in 1739 and the brewery hasn’t moved since.

In 2005 the company joined Brau Holding International, one of the biggest brewery groups in Germany, in order to secure the future of the Fürstenberg brewery.

Bottled at Blackfriars, Glasgow. Pale yellow, rich head. Offputting papery raisiny wort aroma. Sweet and thin with notes of metal but no bitterness.

500ml bottle at Three Judges, Glasgow. I was thirsty and it was a hot day and this slid down perfectly. Pale gold, lasting white head. Decent lager, crispness is ok if understated. Malts are fine. Light lager, but fine.

(33cl bottle, with thanks to quack-duck) Clear, pale golden with a foamy white medium head. Quite shy and light-sweet malty aroma with light-grassy hops. Bitter flavour, light to medium boied with a moderate, creamy carbonation. Initially short malty, herbal hoppy; dry and bitter hoppy finish with a moderate malty sweetness in the aftertaste. Decent.

50 cL bottle. Pours yellow with huge white head. Aroma is pilsener malt. Aroma adds hops in a strange way: not really bitter and not really fruity. Label states that aroma hops extract has been added. It completely lacks sweetness and is rather dry, interesting experience - but not something I would return to.

Huge, dense and miscellaneous yellowish head, tenacious; over amber-shot golden beer. Nutty nose, sweet-bready (but not cloying), (autumn)leafy again. Alcohol seeps into the smell. Sweet, alcoholic, almond, caramalt. Quite complex without advertising it. Iodium? Superbly balanced, by any means. Slightly viscous, oily, very slick and creamy, not in the least because of the alcohol. This is a good Bock! Thanks very much, Sebastian!
