Description
At Bitburger, the pure pleasure of Pilsner-style beer has a long family tradition. Since the founding of our brewery in 1817, we have dedicated ourselves fully to the quality and taste of our products. Today, seven generations and almost 200 years later, Bitburger is still in family hands – but the small business of two centuries ago has become one of the biggest breweries in Germany, and the number one player in the draught beer market. We owe the success of our company first and foremost to our employees, who bring real passion to their work for the company. For us, a sense of social responsibility is simply part of what we do. Bitburger also supports many charitable and community projects, and promotes cultural and sporting events.

Bittburger 12 oz brown bottle. Date code says 1817, it has aged well! Has a slight skunk aroma on the popping of the cap. After the pour there is a hint of yeast in the background. I can’t see pils on the label but everybody I know calls it bitburger pils! Bitte ein bit? Pours like a typical pale yellow american beer, light yellow with carbonation. Has a flavor that imparts am almost roughness about it. Can almost pass for an ale of some sort, but aren’t pilsners a lager? There is a bitterness in there that may appeal to some pale ale lovers. That, perhaps, may be the reason why it rates so high on this website. Definitely not as well behaved as your typical american lager. Compared to stouts pils, it is on par, about the same performance. I think bohemian beers may be a bit more refreshing. The looks of this beer hides the coarseness of it. Finish is not quite like a pale ale or IPA but it is offensive to a milder extent. Who said lagers can’t have a creative personality? The hoppy bitterness lingers for a while.

Bottled (BB 01/2007)
Golden color, small steady white head. Light nose: a bit skunky hops and wort there. Harsh malty with notes of metal and rubber. Watery - the middle of the road N/A beer.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is hops and malts in a good balance. Flavour is strong hops, but some sweetness balancing it up.

Bottle. Grain malt aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Light grainy malt flavor but it at least has a good beer flavor. One of the best low alcohol beers in Germany.

250ml draught at The Jerusalem Tavern. Pale yellow. Small white head. Weak aroma of sweet malt. Blend of malt and sweet hops in flavour. Refreshing but too sweet and overcarbonated (20.09.2006).

Draught at Hotel Plaza, Forchheim: Straw coloured with a thick white head and farily still, but not flat.Floral aroma, strong hoppy taste, with longlasting aftertaste. An excellent Pils.

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a mid-sized blonde foamy head. Slightly sweet malty and light-grassy hoppy aroma. Soft malty taste, delicate bitter flavour and a bit slim on the palate; dry, light bitter finish with shy notes of herbal hops. Not that bad, but quite boring.
