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.

2004 bottle shared with bucknaked, 4/28/2005. Bright gold, moderate white head, well-retained. Aroma of pils malt. Flavor is shapr, acidic, cereal-like with plenty of cardboard. Sour yeast perhaps? Clean aftertaste, however, with no cereal grains. Moderate carbonation. Retronasal celery. Light body. A modest, though not impressive by any means, low alcohol.

Nun gut.Die Flasche sieht vielversprechend aus, irgendwie modern und ansprechend. Malziger Geruch, bei dem man die Süße schon riechen kann. Zu meiner Entäuschung ist es dann auch so: Das Bier ist, wie viele andere Malzbiere auch, zu süß. Der größte Pluspunkt: Im Nachgeschmack lässt die Süße schnell nach und man kann den malzigen Teil genießen. Wenn dieses Bier doch nur aus Nachgeschmack bestände... 8/4/5/12/12/7

Clear golden colour with medium white head, quickly diminishing. Strawy and hoppy aroma. Soft sweet malty flavour with hoppy dry finish. A light decent Pisener type, quite popular in Germany and elsewhere.

Typisch alkoholfrei schmeckt auch dieses Bier lasch und zu mild im Mittelteil. Der Nachgeschmack dagegen ist zwar zu erkennen, allerdings mehr im negativen. Lieber n Wasser als n alkfreies. Test vom 15.3.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,6,7,5,9,6 - 6,35

Clear metallic gold; good whitish head, collapsing. Coffeecream, faint hops, herbal. Very dry, herbal taste, slight sweetness underneath for an instant, then hoppy, later harsh metallic bitterness. Harsh metallic bitter finish overwhelms everything. Dry and rather light bodied. For a nablab, it ranks amongst the better ones. But if I had to drink this on a regular base...

Pour is a bright clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is faint but i do get some malts. Flavor is malty and crisp. Not offensive or poor but it is weaker than most pils. Tries in every way to be pilsner urquili but it is a step below.

Golden pils with a fresh cereal aroma. Crisp dry beer, with sharp malts, clean taste, lightly chalky notes, and full of cereals in mouth. Very good pils!

Can (BB 10/2005)
Yellow with decent foamy white head. Not much aroma: slightly sharp hoppy. Good bitter hops in a palate with long bitter aftertaste. Plain but balanced, Urquell type of pilsener.

Clear yellow color, short white head. Aroma of a german pilsener, hoppy and grainy. Bitter taste, quite like a normal Bitburger. Very nice for a NA beer.

Very malty aroma - primarily of corn and honey. Looks like a beer. Flavor of sour grain - decent carbonation. One of the best non-alcoholic brews out there but still doesn’t really taste like a regular beer. (bottle)
