Description
The Rothaus Brewery was founded 1791 through the Benedictine monastery St. Blasien in the “Zum Rothen Haus” inn (“To the Red House” in English). Following the secularizations of 1806, the Rothaus Brewery fell out of the hands of the monks and became property of the Grand Duchy of Baden and was renamed the “Großherzogliche Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus” (Grand Ducal State Brewery Rothaus of Baden). The November Revolution of 1918, which led to the abolition of the monarchy in Baden, caused the company to shorten their name to Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus (State-owned brewery of Baden), as from then on the brewery was owned by the federal state of Baden.

Since 1922, the company has had the legal form of a stock corporation, the shares of which are currently held entirely by the associated company of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The continuously large demand for Rothaus beer has in the past made large investments necessary. This allowed the Rothaus Brewery to grow into one of the most modern facilities in Germany.

Rothaus-Bräu Schwarzwald Zäpfle (auf dem Brustetikett steht noch der ursprüngliche Name Schwarzwald Maidle), Fläschchen von Edeka. - Goldgelb, satt hefetrüb; schöner Schaum. - In der Nase weich getreidig-süßliches helles Malz, ein Hauch von reifer Birne, etwas Kandis, milde aber frische zitronige Hopfung. - Antrunk weich und betont hefig hellmalzig mit Weißbrot und einer Andeutung von Honig. Dezent malzsüß. Runde, matt zitronige und schwach herbale Hopfung, durch den Hefeschleier gedämpft. Milder rezent. Im Abgang milde, leicht grasige Herbe. Ranziger Nachtrunk. - Weiches, für meinen Geschmack zu hefiges Zwickelbier. (23.6.2021.)

0.33 l bottle from local 'Trink & Spare', best before November 2021. Very hazy, golden with a medium large, dense, stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, gently grassy-spicy, a little fruity-floral aroma of grains, some fresh grass and light lemon peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite grassy-spicy, slightly fruity-floral taste of grains, quite some fresh grass and traces of lemon peel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite grassy-spicy, a little chalky finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Superbly balanced, refreshing and extremely quaffable Lager, nicely grassy as well. Nice!

15/6/2021. Bottle from WiseBartender.co.uk. Pours hazy golden orange with a large frothy white head. Aroma of banana, wheat, coriander, clove, orange, caramel. Medium sweetness, light tartness. Quite light body and a little watery. Soft carbonation. As an AF beer it's a pretty decent drop and judging by the aged ratings I'd say it's probably improved over the years.

Bottled 500ml (Alko web) Hazy orange-yellow colour, medium-sized cloudy off-white head. Banana and clove in the nose. Medium-bodied. Malty semi-sweet Hefeweizen. This is towards banana with lots of yeasty esters, some bubblegum. Less citrus and spiceyness. Solid.
