The Rothaus Pils Tannenzäpfle has existed since 1956—so for almost 60 years. Its unusual name is embodied on the labels of the 0.33 l bottles. The original Tannenzäpfle labels depicted spruce branches accompanied by pinecones. These pinecones are what gave this beer its name. But there’s one other characteristic that makes the Tannenzäpfle special; it was the first Rothaus beer to emerge with a label depicting “Biergit”, the Black Forest girl holding two glasses of beer. Today, “Biergit” is the defining symbol for all beers made by the Rothaus Brewery.

Tight white head stayed on a highly carbonated pale gold body. Pale malt & grain aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a well carbonated back & cloying aft. Bitter, grain, malt, cereal & biscuit tastes. Standard.

Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, faint lemon zip, breads, light sugars. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Decent refreshing pils.

Bottled. A crystal-clear pale golden pour with a thick, persistent, nicely lacing, white head. Aroma is mild: some cereal, some iron filings. Not much more. Not very dry, quite metallic, medium bitter. Subtle but noticeable ash-y finish. So-so.
