Bitburger Radler

Brewed by Bitburger Brauerei Th. Simon
Style: Fruit Beer
Bitburg, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany

The only flavored Bitburger that is ok. Most of the restaurants around here make it with draft Bitbuger mixed with fountain Sprit/7up. Tasted like a Bitbuger with lemon soda that masks the bitter aftertasted of the Pils.

Bottle (330ml). Labeled BitBurger Lemon. Poured clear, extremely pale yellow with a small, rock, white head which was mostly diminishing. Aroma was of lemon lime & bitters with a hint of grain, lemon sorbet and some light soapy notes. Flavor was artificial lemon with pub squash, lemon jelly, a squeeze of lime and some soapy notes in the finish. Very soda like, no hops or malt present. Light bodied with lively carbonation, a somewhat syrupy texture (odd for the low alcohol) and a non-existent finish.

Picked this stuff up by accident. Can’t taste the beer, I’ll let my kids drink this.

Bottle - A beery background taste but very sweet and sticky from lemonade. This is not actually a Fruit Beer but a shandy (Radler) based on Bitburger Premium Pils so probably shouldn’’t even be listed here.

Pale yellow colour with no head. Citrus aroma. Thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. A little watery with lemon in the flavour. Quite sweet. Not exactly a good beer but then it is 50% lemonade and 50% Bitburger Premium Pils....! Radler meaning shandy. 330ml bottle.

Yellow colour, thin fizzy no lasting head, had better radler sometimes.. overwalming lemon-lime extract, very little beer hints.

Bottle. Strong lemon-lime aroma. Pale yellow color with minimal head. Initially sweet lemon-lime flavor followed by a distinct barley malt and light hops. Nice malty aftertaste. This is an above average Radler - unlike many others, this at least has a detectable beer flavor.

33cl bottle in Bitburg. Okay if you like people pouring lemonde in your beer. Not artificial tasting but also does not taste much like beer.
