Jever Fun

Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Low Alcohol
Jever, Germany

Bottled: Aroma of grass and hay, straw coloured with a translucent white head, light carbonation. Refreshing taste, but very watery, less bitter than regular Jever. Not much aftertaste. OK for a non-alcoholic.

I wrote a pretty long text about this beer just the other minute. Unfortunately it disappeared so here is a new shorter version: Pale yellow with big head. Bitter (hoppy) aroma and taste. No malt evident. Not as sweet as non alcoholic sometimes are. Resembles it’s stronger brother with it’s bitterness and watery mouthfeel.

<!-- i -->Bottled.<!-- /i --> Pale golden with a short, white head. Rather grassy in both aroma and flavour. A bit bready with ok bitterness. But way too thin of course.

Bottled. Pale golden. Watery already in aroma, where small notes of hops and honey pastilles were detected. Vague hop tone in flavour. Papery bitter and dry. Fizzy. Light mouthfeel. Drinkable, but useless.

Bottle at Wacken in Germany druring Wacken Open Air in 2005.
Light yellow color, nice white head. Clean malty scent. Low bitterness compared to the "original" stronger brew. Fresh clean taste. For a non alcohol beer this is well worth drinking.

Brief skunk on opening the green bottle. Grassy, hoppy aroma from a yellow pour. Fantastic fluffy head with good lacing. Essentially bitter water. Ugh, terrible aftertaste. A strange astringent finish, nothing fun about this one.

A nice flavor for a non alcoholic bier, probably due to jever´s great water, a nice grassy flavor, still an na though

Bottled. Golden with a small white head. Malt and hay in aroma and flavor. Sticky mouthfeel. Better than the typical N/A-beer. And N/A-beers are not fun, so I think they should rename it. (051209)
