Not a bad lager, although I do feel a tad skeptical of a triple-hopped beer saying it's good for a year. This can was produced in January; I'm wondering what it's lost in the seven-plus months since it left the line. As it is, it runs a little sweet, with subtle corn and grain notes underlined by apple and lemon, with some orange and pine coming from the Centennials and more gentle floral hop notes in the fade. Not bad, but not a classic, either.

Crisp, golden and peach coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall just off-white head that fades fairly slowly. Aroma of light lager yeast, some fresh cut grass, a dose of flowers and biscuits with a soft sweetness from caster sugar and more of the lager yeast. Light-bodied; Very fresh hop flavours show at first that show some floral notes, a good amount of fresh cut grass, some very subdued herbal notes and a lot more of the biscuity and grain notes from the malt and yeast than anything else, that ends with some bready flavours and a good touch of crisp, fresh flavours. Aftertaste shows the very pungent and dominant aspects of a lager from the crisp grain to the pungent yeasts, the light astringency, the flowers and most notably - the crisp, biscuity yeast strain that doesn't show much variance - quite strong and very strong in this one. Overall, a nice, fresh hopped lager that has it's origins in Germany, but taking advantage of American - quite nice and respectable throughout, even for those not keen on the purity law, this was a nice option in the land of 'overdoing' everything - a step back in time, if you will. I sampled this 33 cL can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 06-May-2020 for US$2,09 sampled at my house here in Washington on 23-August-2020.

This is an excellent lager. I do not like the classification and think it is more of a pils or kellerbier than hoppy pale lager. Hazy copper color and a large white head. Big hop aroma, some floral character, dry grass. Flavor is mostly bitter but a hint of citrus is there. Great beer.

Expected a lot more from these two guys working together. there are a lot better hoppy pale lagers out there than this. Aromas are pineapple and pale malt. Flavors are generally sweet with some lingering bitburger bitterness in the finish Don't really taste much hops. One and done.

So when I picked up this can I thot it rather odd that bitburg would make a triple hop but now I see its SN's fault, heheh. Slightly cool can pours haze on yellow beer with a big fat off white head. Taste is initially a somewhat old hop beer. Yes, aged dull hop feel on this one. Date code is L 2020 01 08 what ever that means? Canned in jan or canned in auggie, probably not auggie. A little cloying and sweet in the middle. Difficult. Yep, something you'd expect for a hoppie beer brewed in the germ. Familiar middle europe hopped beer. It must be the time it takes to get it over here. Not sure what to think in the end except its a tick.

0.33l can. Clear golden/orange body with a lasting white head. Bready malts in the aroma with a decent amount of hops to it. Pine is the strongest from the hoppy notes, but apricot and tangerine is there too. It even has a bit of earthy note to it. Taste of piny hops, grapefruit, grape seed and some grainy malts. Easy to drink. The aroma is not super bold, but definitely have much more punch than an average lager. Good one.
