Description
The brewery can look back on a long tradition. It was first mentioned in 1762 as a communal brewery. Only in 1923 the brewery became private property of Sigmund Pirzer and Hans Jakob. At that time it was called Bräuhaus Nittenau. Since 1996 the brewery has been known as the Nittenau Josef Jakob brewery.
Since 2006 the Nittenauer beers are produced in the newly built brewery in the Wulkersdorferstraße in Nittenau. The new production facility with its modern technology creates an ideal space for creative brewing technology, in which old processes are reconsidered, optimized and implemented to improve the product.
Sustainability and environmentally friendly production methods are of paramount importance. The brewery favours short trade routes and convincing freshness according to the motto "From the region - for the region". 94% of the energy required is covered by an own photovoltaic system. This makes the Nittenau brewery one of the few solar beer breweries in Germany (with a seal of quality).

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, light-amber colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Mildly citric hoppy aroma with a delicately exotic note and a whiff of caramel. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with slightly spritzy carbonation. Slightly cara-malty and wheaty taste with herbal and subtle fruity hoppy notes; dry and moderately hop bitter finish with cautious fruity accents, hints of caramel and a tinge of wheaty acidity. Okay but lacks body concerning its abv. 14.VI.16

Bottle: Murky brown, cloudy, small and stable off-white head; almost solid nose of ripe berries, caramel with a delicate smoky touch, hops well detectable in the background; robust sweet sourish flavour, supported a decent bitterness, medium to full bodied; lingering sweet, bitter and sourish finish with fruity, wheaty and smoky aromas. Good stuff…

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a blond and firm mid-sized foamy head. Fruity and slightly resiny hoppy aroma with notes of citrus, pineapples and mildly exotic and floral accents on a slightly malty background. Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Dry-ish malty base with present fruity and delicately floral hoppy notes, getting mildly spicy and resiny towards the bitter-sweet finish. Another pleasant goodie. 11.V.16

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with an almost blond and firm, mid-sized foamy head.

Moderately bitter and slightly sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a sdoft and well-matured carbonation. Soft malty base with fruity and piney hoppy notes; the fruit character gets stronger towards the moderately bitter and mildly sweet finish with a lasting fruity tail. Very good and my favourite of the series so far. 11.V.16
