Jever Lime

Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Fruit Beer
Jever, Germany

Made with Jever Pilsener, Jever lime is my favourite lime-mix beer. Good for hot summer days, as it kept a bit of the original bitterness beside the added lime.

Interresting idea to mix a dry beer with lime juice 50/50. The beer is a bit on the bitter side, not much of the pleasant sourness and citridity the original gave.

The bottle looks good. For a lemon not bad. The beer tastes not as chemical as others of this style. But also very sweet. I don’t really like it.

Found in the K&K in Nordhorn, must be a beer/lemon mix. Artificial lemon aroma. Lime flavor with an underlying grapefruit bitterness. I can hardly taste any beer, although Jever pils is one of the hoppiest pilseners in Germany. Was has happened to this proud brewery?

Clear yellow with a medium off white head. Very sweet aroma with nothing but lime. Flavour likewise and it finished sweet. I think I would actually like the style if cut down on the lemon. To dominating really.

Thin watery brew with hints of the fruit in both aroma and flavor. This is not a good beer.

(Bottlle 33 cl) A "Bier-Limetten-Mix", oh, don’t I just love the German language. 51% beer, 49% lemonade. Somewhat sharper bitterness than in a normal Radler/Alsterwasser - probably from the bitter citrus-lime. Odd yellow-green colour. Absolutely no head. Quite fresh. 200305

Terrible brew! Not much taste & that not at all appelaing. Sulphury-citric aroma! Never again for this one!
