Rothaus Pils Tannen Zäpfle

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

Bottle. Pale beer with a light head. The aroma is very yeasty and the flavour is very dry and bitter with a yeasty and wheat beer finish. Overall an OK beer.

First had this in Wiesbaden 07, not bad. Golden yellow, low head. Aroma is hops, malts and grass. Flavour is sweet malts and some bittering hops. Overall sweet with a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a pale yellow beer with a decent head. Malty, grassy and herbal nose. Rather sweet and hoppy taste. Tart. Very clean with a dry bitter finish which is lingering and slightly unplesant. Rerate: (additional comment): Sweet, boring. Not pleasant at all.

Bottle. Large white fizzy head that mostly lasted. Excellent lacing. Clear sparkling body with a pale yellow colour. Dusty grain and hay, grassy notes and some other hoppy notes as well. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Flavour was light to moderated bitter hops with some malt sweetness. Finish was light bitter and dry. Ok beer.

Bottled. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and grass. Flavour is sweet malts and some bittering hops. Quite sweet overall, and not too exciting pils.

Bottled (BB 03/2007)
Very pale yellow color, small white head. Malty aroma with corn-like and papery hints. Papery, harsh flavor, not much hops found. This one goes to "cheap German supermarket lagers" -class.

Very pallid, yellow body under an unimpressive white head. Aroma finds light florals atop an herbal-hopped base. Smooth and bitter, it turns out to be very quaffable. Light crispness and mild peppers in the finish. Possibly better than I gave it credit for, but my numbers stand.
