Roth Pils
Brewery: Roth
Town: Schweinfurt
Style: Pils 4.9%
Color: golden
Head: white, rocky, chiffon-like
Nose: light grain, hoppy
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, lightly grainy, hoppy
Finish: clean, dry, semi-bitter
Served: from a bottle bought at Sagasser in Lower Franconia
Impression: Great looking Pils with a golden hue and rocky ample head. Mix of grain and hops in the pleasantly enticing nose. The balanced palate is pretty much the same: grainy, hoppy and quite dry. The clean finish is quite dry and just bitter enough to make it moreish. It’s much better than their Helles and a true Pils.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also just published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria. View all posts by beerwanderers
And your description, Rich – enough to make one thirsty just reading it – is one reason there may be nothing better than a true German Pilsner.
Thanks, Don. This is a new area for me. We’re heading to Saxony for Easter and making a stop in this area tonight Looking forward to checking some of the beers out on tap! Have a great Easter.
