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.

Draft at Bierborse fest in Koeln. Very pale yellow color. The aroma and the flavor are also a bit pale, as is the body.

Keg at CASK Pub and Kitchen, Pimlico. Light yellow with plentiful carbonation. Sour lemon and grain aroma. Taste is sweet and clean with only a mild bitterness. Not overly imaginative but still a top Pilsener.

Rothaus Pils, Flasche aus einem Berliner Supermarkt. - Strohgelb, glanzfein. - Schwach hopfenherbe, stumpf malzsüße und leicht säuerliche Nase. - Im Antrunk herb zitrusfruchtiger Hopfen, der ein trockenes (schwefeliges?) Mundgefühl hinterläßt. Durchschnittlich rezent. Etwas dicklich malzsüß mit säuerlichen Anklängen; feuchte Pappe. Im Abgang stumpf bitter aber wenig hopfenaromatisch. Mäßig bitterer, ausgesprochen trockener und leicht säuerlicher Nachtrunk. - Was ist mit diesem Bier passiert? Wo sind die feinen, blumigen und fruchtig-grasigen Hopfenaromen hin, die ich aus früheren Verkostungen in Erinnerung hatte? Wo das zart süßliche Malz? Das hier ist dicklich süß, stumpf, grobschlächtig gehopft und mit unschönen Fehlaromen, die vielleicht vom Hopfenextrakt oder von rabiater Pasteurisierung stammen, in einem Spitzenpils aber nichts zu suchen haben. Rothaus scheint sich dem Niveau der Supermarktbiere angepaßt zu haben, zwischen denen es in Berlin inzwischen regelmäßig anzutreffen ist. Vulgär und überbewertet. (24.6.2014: 2,6.) Bei einer Neuverkostung (Flasche) 7 Jahre später schneidet es ein wenig besser ab. - Satt hellmalzig mit Vanillesüße und kräftiger, eher derber krautiger Hopfung mit trockener Zitronenschale. Für ein Pilsener recht füllig im Körper, aber auch entsprechend kräftig gehopft, wenngleich wenig elegant. - Im großen und ganzen schon brauchbar. Möglicherweise hat die Brauerei am Rezept gearbeitet; dafür spricht, daß das Etikett jetzt keinen Hopfenextrakt mehr nennt. (29.6.2021.)

Surprisingly nice beer. Basis is a German pilsner, with a grainy and bitter body. On top of that, they added some pinecone, that give the beer a nice foresty spicy taste.
