Bitburger Premium Pils

Brewed by Bitburger Brauerei Th. Simon
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Bitburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

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.)

Draft at Library Alehouse in Santa Monica, CA. Pours pale yellow with almost no head. Smells grainy with light, spicy hops and some breadiness. Flavor is malt-sweet and very grainy with some spicy hops. Finish is bitter, dry, and grainy. Mouthfeel is medium-light in body with crisp with crisp level of carbonation. Overall: drinkable pils, but not really anything special.

Pours yellow with minimal head. Decent mouthfeel-- fairly carbonated. Sweet-yeast aroma, aftertaste features slightly bitter hops. Not too hoppy. Not too anything. Solid Pils but not my favorite taste.

26.12.2004, 0,33l Bottle. The colour is pale yellow. Aroma is malty. the sftertaste is bitter and freash.

This beer is very well know over in Germany, but I wasn’t very impressed. It had too much of an aftertaste for me. If you want a good pils, then grab a Urquell or Budvar.

(Bottle). Aroma is bread and malt. Pale golden with thin white head. Quality flavor profile, classic for the style....some hops bitterness, bread, yeast, and a bittersweet finish. Very nice.

Tap at The Yardhouse. Yellow pour. White head. Yeasty, grainy, malty aroma. Actually one of the better pils I have had in awhile. Flavor is pretty crisp and malty wtih some hops to balance. Watery finish. Not bad, not amazing.

A decent pilsener, I like American pilseners much better though. Pretty crisp and drinkable. Dry bread flavor. Short, slightly watery finish. Not as grassy as some other pilseners. A little too watery to be a very good beer. Some straw taste that wasn’t too great.
