Bitburger 0,0% Herb Pils Alkoholfrei

Germany·Alcohol-Free Pilsner
Tap to rate

The Herb is the drier and more bitter of the brewery's two alcohol-free pils, brewed from only 6.2 degrees Plato with 30 IBU. It shows gold to light amber under a long-lasting head. The nose brings sweet toasted notes, ripe grain, honey and bittersweet herbs, with chamomile and a touch of grated hazelnut. The first sip is fresh with a fine prickle, then hop and vermouth-like herbal notes round off a light malt sweetness, and the beer ends lean and distinctly bitter.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a fresh, crisp entry with fine prickle and carbonation that amplifies hop character and vermouth-like herbal notes. A light malt sweetness provides foundation before transitioning to a distinctly lean and bitter finish, with hop bitterness (30 IBU) asserting itself prominently throughout the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is decidedly dry and bitter with excellent clean definition, leaving a persistent herbal and hop bitterness on the palate. The lean character and lack of residual sweetness contribute to its refreshing, sessionable quality ideal for the alcohol-free category.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

About Alcohol-Free Pilsner

What is a Alcohol-Free Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
