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.

Classica pils dal colore biondo, limpida, profumo di luppolo molto intenso e gusto amaro piacevole e dissetante.

Tap at browerij lane. Poured a light clear golden- yellow with a thin head. Grassy and slightly hoppy nose. Light and very sessionable with some decent malts and actually noticeable hops. Finish has some nice bitterness to it. If I was rating just on style it would get higher marks.

I enjoyed this one straight from the bottle. The high carbonation and bread taste reminds me of my first beer! A good summer session beer. I have to remember to get a least a six of this one for the start of next summer.

12oz bottle, about a year old by accident, but kept in the back of my fridge. Pours a lighter clear yellow gold with a creamy thick frothy white head. Aroma is nice and grassy with lesser but balanced notes of sweet and bitter. Flavor is clean in execution but still contains all the nice raw grainy grassy bitterness I want, I love the breadiness, almost in Helles territory, off-dry, finishings crisp and very dry, again very clean overall. Seemingly well attenuated but still managing to keep all that sweet malt character. Medium/light bodied, smooth with very crisp carbonation. Excellent.

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.

Solid hop smell, fizzy CO2 perls with a white header. Golden clear colour. Nice foamy head, a bit frothy. Starts of light bitter and sourish but building up in a rather intense harshness/bitterness. Soft on the lips and rather sparkling on the tongue. Leaves a nice bitter/harsh taste on the roof of the palate. Lively and tasty. A typical northern german beer near the coast. You either like it or not! I certainly like it!
