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.

500ml bottle; as Rothaus Märzen, from Beers of Europe (5.6% ABV): BB 13th May 2021. Drank at home on 16th Jan 2021. Clear golden body, weak and fast fading white topping, lighter in colour than most Märzen I have come across. Grainy nose and taste, hops playing second fiddle in this semi-sweet brew. It lacks a bit of body depth too, not your regular Märzen at all. Expected and hoped for something a bit more interesting and exciting to be honest.

Pour is a crystal clear light looking gold with a large white head. Aroma is dry cracker malt with a little white pepper spice. Flavor is a nice clean dry pils malt with a little spicy hop finish. This was a real nice pils that held up well on the journey over here. I could drink 30 of these and still not get tired of it.

Suht klassikaline saksa nisukas, aga mingi hapukas noot on ka juures. Banaani on muidu selles ikka mõnusalt, ei pea kuskilt taustalt otsima.

Bottle; nose is wheat, pronounced cereal, slight bubblegum and cloves. Taste is wheat, banana, light cloves, pear, pear drops, lots of yeast pronounced bubble gum in the thin finish. A touch disappointing. Absolutely beautiful label on the bottle though.

Solid for the style, still has a bit of that dms flavour to me. More like a helles with some off flavor than a Marzen. Kihoskh adventkal 2020

Bottle on 7th December 2020, from Beer52 Advent Calendar. Pours clear rosy pale amber with virtually no foam or lace. Spicy aroma with maltiness and earthy pungency. Earthy and spicy in-mouth with nuttiness - hazelnut. A sweet malty finish with caramel/biscuit maltiness and spices. Plenty of body and a smooth mouthfeel.
