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.

(bottle) Clear, copper colour with a beautiful and stable off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with aspects of dark bread, caramel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour, medium to light body, crispy carbonation. Toast-malty, bready taste with caramel and a touch of honey; medium-dry, soft malty, slightly bitter and hoppy finish with an aromatic length. A fine Landbier.

An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel - and so is the flavor, but there are also some odd notes, that I can’t pinpoint, but they don’t suit me so well.

(bottle) Clear yellow colour with a mid-sized white foam. Herbal hoppy aroma with a moderate malty sweetness and a floral background. Bitter flavour, light to medium body, crispy carbonation. Well-balanced malt and hops character; dry bitter and hoppy finish with an aromatic malty aftertaste. Very clean and refreshing Pilsener.

An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by berries. The flavor is sweet with a strong malt presence - as well as a strong rye bread note, leading to a slightly acidic end. I find the body a bit thin.

300ml vom fass at a very nice place called Nil Café am See in Mittlerer Schlossgarten in Stuttgart. Pretty appearance with a clear bright yellow colour. Small head. Grassy aroma. A weak hint of hops in a very light flavour. Sparkly impression. Best as a quencher on a warm and sunny Monday like this (24.04.2006).
