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.

330 ml bottle, from Seven Cellars (discovered too late that it is now also available at Vinmonopolet). ABV is 5.6%. Crystal clear golden colour, like a pilsener. Moderate to small white head. Sweetish aroma of light malts, hints of hay, flowers, honey and newmown grass. The flavour is medium sweet, with floral and herbal hops, moderate bitterness.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a stable white head leaving spotty lacing on the glass, near-clear golden-brown body. Moderate smell of fruity wheat and ripe apples. Spiced yeast fruity flavours, moments of banana sweetness and mid-dry apples. Ends rather sweet and wheaty. Soft on the swallow. Decent version of the style, a tad too sweet though. (Tromsø 26.11.2020).

Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark yellow/light orange with a nice but short-lived white head. Aroma of lemons, yeast and grains. Taste of yeast, bread, lemons, grains and some grass. Feels rather acidic. Finish is kind of dry. Low bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Ok but I somehow expected better from Rothaus.

Bottle online from 'The Trembling Madness'. Label says 'Rothaus Marzen 5.6%'. Pours a clear light golden colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of grains, hay, grass, straw and white bread. Taste is more of the same notes, malty, with a very subtle hop on the finish. Medium body, smooth slightly oily mouthfeel with a crisp finish. Nice Marzen.

Rothaus Eiszäpfle, Fläschchen von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Tief goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase fülligeres aber mattes helles Malz, ein Hauch von Karamel, milde Hopfengrundierung. - Antrunk füllig hellmalzig, tief gerstig und nur dezent malzsüß mit einer Andeutung von Honig. Feine zitrusfruchtige und herbale Hopfung von hoher Qualität. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang milde aber runde Herbe. - Sehr schönes Märzen, malztief und aromatisch gehopft, das einem kräftigeren Pilsener ähnelt. (3.11.2020.)
