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.

Bottle at home. Pale as elderflower lemonade. White head. Sweet malts, lemon concentrate, lime juice,, light yellow gummy bear. Medium sweet and light bitter. About medium body and average carbonation. It’s been a while since I had a radler. This tastes pretty ok I think. Not super sweet and not very chemical, quite refreshing. --- Beer merged from original tick of Rothaus Radler Zäpfle on 09 Jan 2018 at 12:41 - Score: 6

Pours light orange, hazy, with a huge foamy head. The aroma is typical Weizen, lots of banana, bubble gum. Taste is white bread, banana, bubblegum, clove. Medium bodied, refreshing, some light hints of water at the finish. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid example of the style.

Bottle at home, probably from German getrankemart. A really decent lager, slightly hoppy, slightly drying. Decent. Re-rated, this time as Rothaus Pils, 500ml bottle from same shop. Slight aroma of flour. It has a nice palate this beer, quite milky smooth. Better than most pislners but still nothing mind blowing (3 to 2.7). Re-rated. Back to Tannenzapfle. 330ml from german supermarket. A decent pilsner where the hops are allowed to stand out. Back from 2.7 to 3.

Bottle at the Exchequer, Crookham Village. Served in a branded stein. Eggy, peppery aroma. Bright gold. Thin but creamy white head. Light bitter, with some sourness. Watery. Soft with a soda water-esque carbonation. Good for a 0.5% ABV, for a start it doesn’t taste like dishwater. But overall little going on taste wise.
