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. Pours clear pale golden with stable white head. Clear aroma of yeast with notes of hops. Sweetish, grainy flavour, quickly replaced by bitter, hoppy notes, ending rather bitter with a mild touch of paper. Drinkable, acceptable, but nothing really impressive.

A very crisp, refreshing Hefeweizen. It’s low on sweetness and edges more towards a spicy, tangy, yeasty flavour.

Bottled, BB 26 Sept 13. Clear pale yellow color, very light actually, short frothy head. Aroma of soft spicy and grassy hop, some corn like aroma’s, bit grainy. Quite bitter in taste for a pilsener, slight sweetness. Hint of straw. Crisp dryness. Bitterness stays for quite some time in the aftertaste. I think I could have had a fresher bottle, but I dont know how much that would have mattered, as it seems pasteurised. And they use hopextract as well. Ok stuff.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Yoav. Cloudy yellow to light orange. Aroma of banana, clove and some bubblegum. Sweetish flavor, fruity, yeasty and spicy. Medium-bodied. Fluffy mouthfeel. Decent.
