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.

0.33 l bottle, best before October 2017. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy and a bit malty aroma of straw, grains and some caramel. Moderately sweet, malty and slightly grassy-spicy taste of grains, straw and some caramel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy-spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, nothing special.

Hell herber Beginn. Leider nach kurzer Zeit sehr trocken und herb werdend mit leichten Gumminoten, so wie man es von vielen Alkoholfreien kennt. Dann zunehmend bitter, wässriger Hintergrund. Süffig, ok. 7/6/7/7/8/7

Bottle thanks to Fraser. Appearance - amber with a light haze. Nice head. Nose - creamy banana and light spice. Thinner than usual hefe nose. Taste - very thin banana and light spice. Some funky yeasty notes too. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. But it’s a bit thin for a hefe. Overall - I struggle with non-alcohol versions of this style as the body is missing.

Bottle thanks to Fraser. Appearance - golden with a decent lacy head. Nose - sweet malt, a little sweet lemon. Something metallic. Taste - more of the same. More metal and lemon. Cereal soaked in milk. Palate - light bodied with a light creamy texture and a nice dry finish. Overall - it’s not bad for something that isn’t a real drink.
