Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Lammsbräu Neumarkter Pils if you want cleaner, almost mineral-forward drinking,
Wittingen Pils if you want softer malt backbone.
Both sit at 4.8% and 38 IBU, so the gap is subtle—it's really about water profile and grain handling. Neumarkter leans toward Bavarian precision; Wittingen feels slightly rounder. Neither dominates; it's about which direction speaks to your palate that day.

In words
Lammsbräu Neumarkter Pils
Neumarkter's got a crisp, almost chalky minerality that hits first—the kind of clean that makes you notice the water they're using. The noble hops are restrained but present, herbaceous rather than floral. Finishes bone-dry with a slight grip that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. This is a pils that doesn't apologize for its straightforwardness.
Wittingen Pils
Wittingen pours with a softer entry—there's more sweetness in the malt that rounds the corners. The bitterness is there (38 IBU), but it sits gentler, almost conversational. You get a hint of bread crust and a touch of honey undertone that Neumarkter doesn't show. It's the kind of pilsner that feels less austere, more approachable after the first glass.
