Jever Pilsener

Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Jever, Germany

Yellow gold with small white head. Smell of hops, yeast, citrus. Bitter taste with medium fruit. Not my favorite style, but a decent specimen nonetheless.

Bottled. Clear yellow colour, small white bubbly head. Dry hay and vegetables in the semi-bitter aroma. Hoppy flavour with grassy and malty hints. Wellbalanced. Not too bad and pleasant palate.

Clear straw-yellow body with moderate carbonation and a loose, sudsy white head. Aroma of lightly musty, dry hay with mild underlying pale malt richness. Dry, lightly malty character with a prominent spicy, grassy hop flavor and bitterness. This is very hop-centered, even for a pilsner. Body is on the light side, very dry and crisp. Probably too dry and grassy to make a decent session pils for me, but still a worthwhile and enjoyable beer.

Golden Colour, very fizzy. strong bitter aroma like a pilsener should have.

Bleh. Bitterness was way too upfront and covered any other flavor this beer could possibly have. Too fizzy and lively: to me, this is what macros (not that Jever is macro) aim for when going for "premium" because I think this is that kind of attack that people think is good.

Crisp and dry flavor with a hoppy bite at the end. It’s not superb, but it is a decent pilsner.

Smooth and slightly hopped, this pilsener is easy drinking but borderline boring drinking. Had it in a bottle at a bar.

Everything one could want in a pilsner with a dash of herbs thrown in there to raise the bar.
