About
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.

0.5l can (Königsbacher Pils) brought from Paris by a friend (thanks a lot Franjo!) Poured a pale golden-yellow body with lazy carbonation and a small-medium white head that went away slowly. Dusty/vegetable/herbal hop nose, a bit sourish. Bitter and all too ordinary hop taste, some light but nice breadiness, some yolky sulphur. A bit watery and nothing special, but ok enough.

Medium white head. Yellow body with carbonation. Light mealy grassy aroma. Dry grassy faintly malty taste with chalky resiny notes. Faintly acidic grassy aftertaste with peppery hop notes. Light, somewhat bland, but very high quality. Not bad, and surprisingly hoppy, but ultimately boring. Could use more body. (0.33l bottle, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, Leipzig.)

Can, pours light golden color with small white head, that doesn’t stick around. Smells light and sweet. Taste is light with a nice mellow bitterness that ends wet and fades slowly. Mouthfeel is lively with heavy carbonation. Not bad.

50cl Bottle @ home. A soft sweetish pilsener, a bit citrussy with a slightly bitter finish. Dry mouthfeel, refreshing. Way better than expected.

This is brewed about 15 minutes from my house so is available at all of the local restaurants. I like it better of draft, the bottles all have a skunky flavor and I know I’m getting it fresh since the brewery is so close. Has a very bitter aftertaste which I like.
