Commercial Description:
The classic Bitburger - a mature and most agreeable beer - is brewed with the best of ingredients in the same traditional way it has been for many, many years. The result is delicately tart and pleasantly bitter - with a strong hop taste.

Pours a light gold into the glass with a nice puffy white head. The aroma is slightly skunky with some toastiness to it. The flavor is much of the same. Very light and nothing in the taste is disagreeable. That being said, it’s not one of the better german beers i’ve had

A crisp and bready aroma. Is a nice gold color with a small white head. Flavor is nice and bitey with sweet bready malt. A nice palate cleanser. I had it after Miller Chill and it definitley helped get rid of that abominable flavor.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of grass, apples, some pepper, touches of citrus. Tastes of sweet malt, some pepper, some perfumy hints, touches of apples and some crisp dryness. Mouthfeel is suitably light. Finish is sweet and malty. A great thirst quencher/lawnmower beer.

Bottle. Ehh....too dry and flavorless for my taste. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but I didn’t like this one bit.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Pale gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is dry and grassy with a very floral and fruity note. Flavor is very bitter and hoppy with a very bitter and lasting finish. Slightly metallic.

12 oz. bottle. Nice, clean, grassy hop aroma with just a tinge of fruity grape. Golden color with a white head that rapidly filmed. Rather thin bodied, with moderate carbonation. The flavor is sweet malt with some bitter. A slight astringency. The finish is dry, and there is some bitter to enjoy. If lagers were all there were, this would be one of the better beers. Thank God for ales.

Bottle. Clear yellow colour with rather nice white head of medium duration. Malt and especially hops in the aroma and flavor. Average finish. Ok pilsener.

From a 500 ml. can, freshness date on the bottom, sampled in a pilsener glass. Poured a clear pale yellowish golden with a frothy white head, decent retention, minimal amount of sticking. A faint nose, lemon honey, grainy and sweet pale malts, very lightly floral. Active carbonation lends to a firm medium-light body, pleasant tasting, dryly crisp, sweet pale malts with a soft grainy twang, a little lemon honey sourness, a nice spicy hoppiness with a dry, crisp biscuity finish. A good budget priced pilsener, I like the fact that I can find this in tall boy cans, close to perfect on beastly hot, muggy midwestern summer days.
