Description
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.

A hazy yellow beer with a thin rim of bubbly off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of vitamin C, as well as straw and lemon. The flavor is mainly of vitamin C combined with notes of lemon, which also settle on the lips. No wonder, the body is thin. Reminds me more of a vitamin pill than a beer.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a short foamy white head. Slightly dusty and sweet Munich malt aroma with a grainy touch. Moderately sweet flavour, soft malty taste with a rounded hoppy background; medium to light bodied, smooth mouthfeel; medium-dry, malty, light-bitter and slightly hoppy finish. Definitely not a big one but a clean, fresh and easy-going session beer. A well-balanced pale Märzen.
