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.

Pours a lightist yellow with a thin white head. Pretty thin aroma of hop and malt. Relatively bitter pils aroma. Has a bit of a bite and then follows with a smooth finish. Good but not great.

Bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Poured a straw color with a moderate frothy white head that lasted and had good lacing. Heavy hoppy grainy aroma. Medium body with soft carbonation. Medium hoppy bitter flavor with a medium bitter dry finish. This beer met my expectations.

The color was very light golden. The head was thick, creamy, and white. The aroma was corn and very little malt. The flavor was corney and bitter. The palate was thin and the finish was abrupt.

Appearance: clear blond brilliant color. Great head, white color, some rocky and persistent. Beautiful foam. Aroma: malty but mainly hoppy dominance, with herby and citric touches. Smells fruity reminiscences of grapefruits, pineapple and lemon. Flavor: sweet and ephemeral pale malty start. Progress to a refresh, intensive, persistent, resinous and nice dry-hoppiness, with herby tones. Dry and citric fruity taste reminiscences, like peel lemon and grapefruits. Astringent finish. Dry, malty and some mentholated aftertaste. Palate: medium body with resinous hoppy texture. Medium carbonation. Refreshing. Nice and intensive dry-hoppy.

This German Pilsener is really "Friesisch-Herb". One of my favourites amongst industrial made Pils. Beautiful body, carbonation and bitterness.

Pours a pretty clear yellow, nice golden tone to it. The head is billowing white, beautiful carbonation. Sweet grassy aroma, mild cardboard. The flavor is crisp, grassy, tart bitterness, sweet, apparent hop character. Above average on the palate, much more hop waxiness and liveliness than I usually expect.

Pours a transparent yellow color with a bulky white head. Fantastic stick with the lacing. Aromas offer both the intense bitter of the hops and the sweet of the malt. Not cloying sweet flavors gets scrubbed by an aggressive bittered hop flair. Dry and chalky finish. Not quite a harsh finiosh, but enough to make this pilsner more of a chore to drain than I expected.
