🌍 Germany · German Pilsner · One of 169 German Pilsners in hopIQ

Brewed by Badische Staatsbrauerei Rothaus in Grafenhausen, Black Forest, Baden-Württemberg, Tannenzäpfle is one of Germany's most iconic pilsners, widely recognised by its distinctive green bottle and charming label art. It pours a bright, pale golden colour with a clean, persistent white head. The aroma offers fresh floral and herbal hop character with a delicate grainy malt backbone. On the palate it is crisp and well-attenuated, with a balanced bitterness derived from Hallertau-region hops. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering herbal and floral notes. Brewed to the Reinheitsgebot using soft Black Forest spring water, Tannenzäpfle exemplifies the southern German pilsner tradition — elegant, clean, and highly drinkable.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Rothaus Tannenzäpfle

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
