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.

Bitburger is by far one of the most consistent beers I have ever tasted. It is a crisp refreshing pilsner that has a very distinct, soft nose, and bitter taste. It is very difficult to find a good bitter pilsner, even in Germany most of them tend to be too sweet for me. Anyway, get your hands on this beer- it’s awesome!

A very pale, highly carbonated beer. I don’t think I’d agree with "a strong hop taste", but it is not a bad beer. It has a hint of hop, and a slight sour taste to it. A decent session ale, or a fairly accessable decent beer.

Served at The Ship in Whistable. Very attractive pint, with a thick whipped cream head and pale watery straw coloured body. Lots of fizz. This is a delicate lager - mild floral notes (a touch of lemongrass?) and soft malt rounded off with a prickle of hops. What there is is balanced well, but don’t think there’s enough in there in the first place.

Tap and bottle. Has a very nice hoppy afterburn. One of the better classic german pilseners. Re-rate: After quite a few german pilseners, this one is starting take the top position. Nicely balanced and beautiful hoppy aftertaste, which kicks in very late!

500 ml can - pours honey colour with a rapidly diminishing foamy white head. Not much in the aroma, some malt sweetness, that’s about it. Flavour is quite nice though, slightly bready, with the aforementioned sweetness but really balanced with that dry German bitterness from the hops, which take over the finish. Bitterness/hoppiness fades and sweetness grows as beer warms in the glass. Aggressively carbonated. Not a whole lot here, but what is here is enjoyable. A refreshing summer quaffer, for sure.

Excellent! More precision engineering by the Germans, well done! Full flavoured beer, smooth & light on the palate, cant stop at one ! If you like Becks you’ll LOVE Bitburger !

For what it is (picked it up for 60p) it has to be the best of the bunch. Run of the mill stuff except a more bitter but welcome taste. For this price well worth another visit.

Not bad but, not great either. Typical German pilsner. My girlfriends parents ususally have this on hand when we visit. Pretty easy drinking.
