Bitburger put Drive through full fermentation before removing the alcohol, which gives it more character than beers brewed to low strength from the start. The base is a clean, golden pilsner with floral hop aroma and moderate bitterness, but there's a thread of honey and gingerbread malt running through it that stops it feeling thin. Carbonation is lively and the finish lands on the bittersweet side rather than the dry, sharp finish you might expect from a German pils. It's a solid pick if you want something sessionable that doesn't taste watered down. The herbal bitterness carries through well enough that you're not just drinking fizzy malt water, and the mouthfeel is smooth without being flat.
