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.

On draught at Birreria Paradiso: Pours to a clear golden-straw body with a medum, lasting, white head. The aroma is mild hops, grass, fruit, apples, and some bread. Taste is bitter floral & grassy hops, bread, fresh light malts. Lively carbonated, light bodied, finishes crisp with some lightly bitter hops.

Can. Ordinary pilsener. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Week to no aroma. Moderate sweet flavor. Short finish. Watery palate. Nothing to go for here! Very carbonated.

On tap at the Horseshoe pub: Nice bitterness. Lacks malt balance. Thin bodied and a little watery. Crisp mouth feel and good pilsener dryness. OK but a little disappointing.

A friend of mine had his brother-in-law bring this over from Germany, and it was a nice pilsner that I hadn’t previosuly heard of. The packaging looked cheap, but the beer was pretty good. Very pale yellow with tightly packed bubbles in a fairly weak head with little lacing. Smell was somehow "import smelling" without the skunky methyl-butyl-thiol smell that we usually associate with the green-bottle-beers. Taste good - an above average pilsner. I liked it - and if it were more widely available here, I would gladly take it over some of the more common German lagers like Beck’s, Krombacher, Warsteiner, Bitburger.

Sample at a beer tasting event at "Pannrummet" in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Light yellow color. Malty scent. High bitterness, malty a bit hoppy taste. A German classic by all means. The low score is only because of my recent lack of appreciating light lagers, this is well made and a classic, but just not right for me.
