Quite similar to other german golds. Has very nice sweetish maltiness and even some hops. Still lacks the nice hoppy afterburn and crispiness of the real Bit. Quite enjoyable anyway.

What were they thinking?! Bring out a bland and uninspirational beer that is vastly inferior to the great Bitburger Pils (insidently one of my favourite German Pilsners)? Who knows. But what I can report is that this is an unoffensive beer but totally bland and tasteless offering from Bitburger aimed at those who have no taste what so ever i.e. those you would normally find drinking fosters, budweiser and other piss poor lagers. Simliar to Becks Gold, I can only assume that they copied Beck’s idea of a pissy tastless mutation of their standard pils. Well anyway who cares, the message is clear. Stay clear on these short lived marketing gimic beers as they are all hopelessly rubbish.

Bottle. Reminds me of a cross between an american light beer and a Corona. It’s actually pretty good. I’ve bought it a few times. Also good with a little lime too..

pubbe (493) - Højbjerg, DENMARK - APR 18, 2007
Bottle. Clear yellow with white mostly lasting head. Malt and hops in both aroma and taste. Average finish. Has some thirstquenching qualitees.

Egon (478) - Gothenburg, SWEDEN - AUG 23, 2008
Can, Hazy yellow with white head. This can was probably infected in some way since it a sour taste. Quite thin but maybe some fruit in there as well.

JayBaxter (408) - Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - NOV 20, 2005
Yellow and instantly flat, aroma is lagerish with a thin weak watered down taste......the Sol of Germany.

bmxutos (161) - Lisboa, PORTUGAL - NOV 1, 2005
Bottle, 33cl. Bad, bad, bad beer! Very pale yellow, almost no head at all and no significant carbonation. Aroma? Perhaps i’m with a flu or something... Very sweet flavour, notes of malt and nothing else. Rather plain. Unbelievable how bitburger could make a beer like this.

This is probably one of the best Gold beers (lager in clear bottles) . Golden colour, almost no head, low hop and low malt.
