Bitburger Pils

A quick one! Bitburger Pils (4.8% abv) generally has a bad wrap in Australia amongst most of the beer crowd but I think this reputation is undeserved. The beer is a gem, but I can see how it may not suit Australian tastes. For those who have not had the pleasure, the beer is dry and crisp, almost to the extreme, however it also backed up by solid malt and a decent serving of hops on the nose. Overall, its an exteremly refreshing and well balanced beer. However, this aside a mate of mine said.

"Its a bit Rough"

I just dont get it??

Anyhow this beer is widely available around the world so there is really no excuse not to check it out for yourself. I will hopefully get to sample some fresh in Germany itself at the end of the month, and then again at the German Beer Fest in London on May 15th. Bring on the good times!
