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.

I purchased this beer on the advince of a German man with a Texas accent. Didn’t have a fridge, so he told me that Jever still tastes good warm. I am giving definate props to the beer for pulling off such an amazing feat. Certainly it would have tasted smoother and more refreshing if it was cold, but the beer was still smooth and flavourful without the refridgeration.

Bottle 0,5l at The St Albans Beer Festival 28 Sep 06. Yellow coloured. A huge lasting head. Hoppy flavour. Sourish fruity flavour. Bitterness coming after a while - and lasting. Sourish bitter ending. A good pilsener.

500ml bottle sampled with CatweazleTroms and Finn at The St Albans Beer Festival. Pale yellow body with a small, white head. Citrus (lemon) aroma. Hoppy and sweet fruity in taste. Slightly bitter ending. Rather decent version for a pilsener (28.09.2006).

Can’t understand much of the fuss about this one. Hoppy, bready flavour with a dry-bitter finish. Like the average IPA, this is just probably not my taste.

Very light straw color with a noble hop aroma. Flavor is soft spicey/grassy hops with a mellow clean maltiness. The palate is very clean and soft.

Pours a clear pale yellow, and both looks and tastes completely crisp and clean. Nice Hallertau hop flavor, with a little bit of doughy malt in the background. Tasty, but forgettable.

Very nice golden yellow appearance. Reflected in the taste - very crisp and clear, quite dry and hoppy. The bitterness is evident, but not overpowering. Smooth finish makes it very easy to drink. Definitely one of the better pilseners.
