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 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a very cloudy golden with a white head. Unclean, yeasty aroma - some rotten fruit. Very thin body, yeasty with a tart underlying note. Dryish finish. Drinkable though - which is not always the case with non-alcoholic Hefes. 301109

Bottle. It pours a hazy, yellow-orange body with a nice and big white head leaving lacings. Very chewing-gum like nose with banana-like fruityness and some cloves and hop-notes. In a strange way reminiscent of french fries. Sweet, banana-fruity flavor with some cloves and bitterness, as well as wheaty sugarness. Full-bodied, very effervescent and rather sticky in the mouth. Sweet, fruity, bananaish finish with a hint of bitterness and cloves. Quite cloying actually, not a beer I long to revisit. 091008

330ml bottle. Pale gold with a slight white head. Light, bready malt aroma, slightly sweet. Flavour had more character with a floral hop edge, touch of turkish delight, hint of barley sugar and sweetish finish. Ok.

bottle, found in a local Getränkemarkt. I can’t easily understand the syntactic construction of Alkoholfrei Zäpfle, but besides that the bottle has the classic Rothaus look. Rothaus Alkoholfrei seems to be available since summer 2009. It has a clear golden yellow colour with a medium-sized white head. Malty nose. Malty, slightly sourish and grainy with some nice hoppy hints and a biscuity maltiness in the finish. Refreshing and quite all right for an alcohol free beer.
