I've been on the quest for a good low/non-alcohol beer, and I've tried close to 10 different offerings in the process. I keep coming back to Bitburger Drive as the best of the bunch. I generally like wheat beers, hefeweizens, wits, and the like, and generally dislike pale lagers. Bitburger Drive is more in the pale lager category than I would generally like, but compared to the competition, this one is hands down the most true beer-like one I've had. Looks, smells, feels and tastes like a genuine beer. I truly believe this one could pass as a full octane pale ale to the unsuspecting taster, and for that alone, it gets my respect.

    Pours a typical clear straw yellow with an eggshell head. Aroma is a little yeasty but not at all like a beer. Flavor is - hello! Earth to Bitburger! Water had more flavor. Texture is scarcely fizzy and thin as a schoolkid’s excuse for not doing homework. Nein, danke.

    Pours a medium gold colour, clear, with a thin snow white head. Aroma is very similar to the regular Bitburger with cereal malt, herbal hops, and some yeast. Flavour is simply a weaker version of the Premium Pils, not offensively weak by any measure, but still weaker.

    Trying to keep the abv down (a little) as I get back in shape, found a couple NA/low abv singles. This one was ok. I've had a couple better and many worse. Still quite grainy and generic. Sweet malt/corn, bubbly. Not skunky, though. Don't anybody know you can hop a beer that's NA?

    330 ml brown twist-off crown cap bottle, from Safari, Lagunen, Bergen, as Bitburger Drive 0,0% Alkoholfrei. Golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly strong grainy aroma with notes of over-boiled vegetables. The flavour is bland and boring, with some unpleasant sourish notes, and a metallic hop extract bite in the finish.

    mmm! this is an awesome NA... poured with a medium head that faded to a sparse white ring .. light golden yellow .. very nice bitterness level.. clean, tastes like a usual pils .. a fantastic example of of what a NA pilsner/lager should be .. my new favourite NA beer ... damn, i want one of those bitburger glasses!...

    (as Bitburger Alcoholfreih). Yellowish golden colour with basically no head. Aroma is maize, malts and grass. Flavour is totally bad rubber and paper. Thin, watery and very bad.

    Nothing good to say about this beer, if there is something to say at all. Skunky-grassy smell, absolutely light and clear yellowish color and poor head. Watery, thin and faceless. Some malty and corny traces can be noticed. And that's it. Almost undrinkable.

    Ordered "Bitburger Alcoholfrei" because the waiter told me it was an alkoholfrei "weizen" bier. Right, sure. As soon as I smelled it, there was no doubt it was a skunky pilsner. Sure enough, I asked for the bottle and it was "Alcoholfrei - Pils." Give me a break. I don't like Pilsners with alcohol. This was no better. Maybe a decent NA option if you like Pilsners, but even in the brown bottle it had a skunky / grassy aroma and flavor. I won't return and will continue to amaze myself at the number of NA beers I have, even after vowing to stay away from them.
