- "Our straw-coloured pilsner is crystal-clear and perfectly hopped, boasting a light taste and a lasting foam head with extra-fine bubbles. This all combines for a moment of pure pilsner enjoyment. For two centuries we’ve brewed our beer using only the best ingredients, and following the renowned German Beer Purity laws. It’s no wonder the distinct barrel-fresh taste of our Bitburger Premium Pils is a firm favourite amongst beer fans, and the most poured beer in Germany!"
The Review
This is a clean, crisp, refreshing pilsner from the area that invented this type of pale lager. It is quite effervescent and indeed does have extra-fine bubbles. Bitburger would be an excellent choice for a day at the pool or beach. At least at Total Wine, this is also a very affordable beer. Both of the two old guys rated Bitburger a solid three (3) out of five (5) bottle caps. Give it a try.
