About
In the country side, on the banks of Tauber river and directly on "Romantische Straße" ("Romantic Road") there is a small village called Distelhausen, a district of Tauberbischofsheim. As the name suggests, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" (brewery of Distelhausen) is situated here; it is one of the medium-sized breweries in the German beer sector. The brewery was founded in 1811 as Brewery Womann and in 1876 acquired by Ernst Bauer. The brewery is owned by the Bauer family since that year.

In Distelhausen, 23 different kinds of beer are currently produced according to traditional regional brewages. Due to the long-lasting and trustful co-operation with domestic business partners and gastronomy and because of the tight coupling with regional suppliers from agriculture, industry and services, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" considerably supports regional economy in Franconia of Tauber River since the raw materials used are traditionally mainly from the region.

The brewery is a founding member of the Die Freien Brauer (Independent Brewers) initiative, an association of medium-sized private breweries in Germany and Austria. As early as 1956 the brewery involved its staff in various forms in the profits.

Dunkles Weizen from Distelhäuser Brauerei
17 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, mid-sized beige head - slowly collapsing; sweet caramelly (with touch of turpentine aka necrotic yeast) nose with a yeasty-wheaty background; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, light to medium bodied, soft MF; phenolic traces again in the caramelly-wheaty finish. A rather mediocre brew from a good brewery.........

Bottle. Apple, peach, sour orange and malt aroma. Cloudy amber color with small head. Sweet banana, peach, and wheat malt flavor - like a typical Hefe but seems to have a tangier/sharper flavor. An excellent beer - I just wish there were more beers of this style - I absolutely loved this one.
