Commercial Description:
Unique in taste. The secret lies in the water, which is still taken from the same well used well over 100 years ago. The water from our well is unusually pure and soft. That allows us to add a touch more hops to create the Friesian-bitter taste that distinguishes Jever Pilsner from any other beer.

Golden with lasting head. Straw and smoke? aroma notes. Smoke, bread, grain malt flavours. Unpleasant bitter finish. Could not finish.

Big coarseish shiny white lasting head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Light grass and straw aroma. Dry grassy straw taste with grainy malt notes. Light to medium body. Bitter grassy aftertaste. Faint residual sweetness. Verging on watery, with a sharpish mouthfeel. A good and very clean pilsener. (0.4l draft at Altstadt Bierhaus, Lübeck.)

Pours a nice light golden yellow color. Aromas of malts, hops, and grass. Crisp hop bitterness and dry finish.

Great, really bitter Pils. I’ve been to Jever, and it was like heaven on earth. Great beer. Where can I get it in California?

The only bad thing I have to say about this beer is that it comes in a green bottle, and you get the skunk smell. Pours with a nice white head, light yellow body, clean taste with a nice sharp hop bite. My friend, Dirk, always used to say Jever made the best German pils, and it’s sort of hard to disagree. Wish I could get this on tap, though.

This was probably one of the worst beers I have ever tasted that wasn’t brewed as an "american lager". The only positive aspect for me was it looked nice when poured; it had a frothy lasting head. I love hoppy beers, however this one made me wonder if hops were even a requirement.
