Rothaus Tannenzäpfle

◎ Aussehen

Pours a bright pale golden colour with excellent clarity and luminosity. The head is clean and persistent, displaying fine white foam that clings to the glass in delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a gently effervescent visual presentation characteristic of well-executed pilsner craft.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a refined balance of fresh floral and herbal hop character, with a subtle grassy and slightly spicy dimension derived from noble Hallertau hops. A delicate grainy malt backbone provides supporting sweetness without asserting itself, allowing the hop aromatics to remain the focus. Clean fermentation character adds to the overall freshness, with no rough or solvent-like edges.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is crisp and clean, with an immediate perception of light, bright malt character balanced by moderate noble-hop bitterness. The mid-palate remains dry and well-attenuated, with herbaceous and subtle mineral notes building throughout the tasting experience. Bitterness is integrated and refined, never harsh, creating a harmonious framework that showcases both hop and malt in equal measure.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with floral and herbal hop notes persisting into the aftertaste. A subtle mineral quality completes the picture, leaving the palate refreshed and inviting another sip without any cloying or astringent sensations.

Gut gekühlt bei 4–6°C für maximale Frische servieren. Ein zu warm serviertes Pilsner verliert seinen charakteristischen Biss.

Das hohe, schmale Pilsnerglas erhält die Kohlensäure und zeigt die goldene Klarheit, die den Stil ausmacht.
