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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pink with a small, pinkish head. Fresh, berry-like aroma. Light and watery body with extremely dry berry-like accents - raspberries. Quite refreshing for a Mischgetränk. 040307

Bottled. A pinkish red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet fruity - with strong notes of passion fruit. The flavor is sweet with artificial passion fruit notes as well as light notes of berries. This is like a sodapop.

Bottle, 2.8%. OK citric aroma. Clear yellow colour, OK white head. Thin mouthfeel and flavour. Quite rough bitterness. Boring, but not bad considering ABV.

(bottle, now called Pilsener instead of Pils with new label-design) Clear, pale golden colour with a nice blond foamy white head. Rather shy aroma with malty, slightly grainy sweetness and herbal, very light grassy hops. Bitter, slightly sweet flavour, light to medium body, ok carbonation. Initially malty taste, turning rapidly into moderate herbal hoppy, slightly perfumed flavours; dryish, quite papery, slightly bitter and hoppy finish. Hardly average quality.

Bottled. Clear pale golden, brief head. Grassy hops dominate the nose. Dry with bready malt, but some syrup comes through and spoils the party. Light bodied with rather mellow mouthfeel. Pleasant salty bitter finish. Feels like a good pils with too short lagering time.,

Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Light hoppy a little bready aroma. Nice bitter flavor. Moderate bitter average finish. Watery palate. This is one of the best low-alc I have tasted (apart from hvidtøl of course!!!)

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. Yellowish golden colour with basically no head. Aroma is maize, malts and grass. Flavour is totally bad rubber and paper. Thin, watery and very bad.
