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.

Draught@White Horse Parsons Green, London. Hazy orange colour, small creamy white head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, fruits and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balanced. Served a bit too cold, but turned out really nice as it warmed up a bit.

Deep golden colour. Not much head. Full, toasty, bready aroma. Decent malt palate. Good balance, although certainly not the biggest example of the style (export).

Bottle. A clear, slighlty pale golden beer topped by a finger-thick white head. Fruity nose indicating clever use of the noble hops, some pale malts in the background. The flavor is a bit on the grainy side, but with a nice hoppyness. Good bitterness in the finish. Medium body, rather sweetish. A nice and refreshing pilsner, maybe a bit on the sweet side. 090829

Muddy blond color. Sugary aroma, sugar floss, some spices, hay, light fruit. The mouthfeel is incredibly dry and weak, with cereals, straws and a very light citrus touch. Unfortunate.
