Let's dive into the German world of beers with the Rothaus Tannenzäpfle – a timeless classic since 1956🍻
Rothaus Tannenzäpfle is a classic German pilsner that is made with the best ingredients, including aromatic hops from Tettnang and Hallertau, local malt from spring barley, and the purest spring water from the Black Forest. This gives it a unique spicy and fresh taste.
Sip & Savour:
Look: This beer wears a bright, golden yellow hue, topped with a foam crown fit for a royal sipper!
Odor: Close your eyes and breathe in the essence of meadow herbs, instantly teleporting you to the idyllic High Black Forest.
Taste: Brace yourself for a taste adventure! The dance of hop bitterness and malt sweetness creates a whirlpool of flavors, unveiling a new experience with every sip. A true Black Forest original! 🌲🍺
