Rothaus Pils Tannen Zäpfle

Brewed by Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Grafenhausen-Rothaus, Germany

Bottle. A - Very clear gold/yellow with a white, sticky/foamy large head. Good retention. S - Clean, light pilsener malt. Decent amount of hop giving it a floral and green smell. A little zesty and a little sweet. T - Most prominent is the bready malt base. A lot of doughy/fresh baked bread taste that provides just a very subtle sweetness. Then mixed in with that base is a loud whisper of floral and herbal hoppiness. Also just a hint of lemon and pepper. These never really jump out a kick you in the mouth; rather, they fade in and out of the bread flavors. The finish leaves a slight bitterness along with the bread taste. The flavor isn’t a bold outstanding one, but rather a very enjoyable one that lingers on the tongue. M - Light and crisp with a slightly dry finish. Good amount of carbonation, and goes down really easy. D - Amazingly drinkable. Light, crisp, and refreshing just like a Pilsener should be. The flavors linger on your tongue for quite a while and just tempt you to drink more. Notes: This is an excellent Pilsener and I wish I could give one to people who say they don’t like the style. I never thought that highly of the style (a view skewed by less appealing offerings of Pilseners), they seemed too light and wimpy. Is this beer light, yes. Wimpy, no. Very clean, natural, and refreshing beer.

Bottle. Light yellow with white head. Quite week aroma of grass and malt. Dry and quite sweet taste of hay, malt and hops. Ok bitterness.

Pale yellow color with beautiful white head. The aroma is weak of cereal. In mouth instead the Tannen is a good Pilsner, soft, with a taste of nuts non annoying, and a discreet bitterish end. Fresh and drinkable. One of the best Pilsners that I have drunk.

Bought in Amsterdam. Pale yellow color with a weak aroma, notes of grass and malt. flavor is quite dry as well as the after taste, but longer.

Nice pilsner from a good brewery, well balanced notes of cereal, grass, with floral end. Typical color of a pilsner. Seen as a luxe pilsner in Berlin, i think it is a bit. Quality pilsner from south east germany.

I think I have seen this beer before, the label looks like a cracker box but it was itneresting. NOt as graspy as most pils and very aromatic.

buona pils fresca delicato sentore amarognolo ma molto persistente.beverina..tanto beverina.

Pours a very light yellow with white head which dissipates quickly. Very pleasing hop aromas and taste. This beer stands out against other basic pilseners IMO and is very satisfying and refreshing.
