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.

Nice pilsener pour, pale gold, with a light fluffy head which receded to a float and minimal lacing. Smelled a bit skunky, though the exp. date was in 2006. Beyond that, it kind of smelled like Bud. There was a small herbal character. Tasted better with some herbal fruitiness and a good dose of hops, no noticeable malt. Not bad, but nowhere near great. Thin in the mouth, once again, its a hoppy Bud, if you ask me.

Bottle - June 2005 Thypicall lager golden appareance, good ( somewhat fizzy) carbonatation. A nice herbal arome. Very dry, somewhat skunky ( maybe because of the bottle or mental induced because of it). A fine German Pilsner, but i expected something more of it.

Bottle. Once upon a time, one of my all time favorite beers. Still a benchmark Pilsener - dry and crisp with a sharp hop bite. A great session beer.

Pours very pale with a nice pilsener head. Surprisingly strong aroma of hops and freshly baked bread. Very crisp, with an excellent hop bite. More flavorful than other pilsners I’ve tried. I liked it a lot.

Bottled. Quite big, frothy and lacey head. Pale golden colour. Heavy grass aroma and hoppiness. Hoppy, herbal taste with a unusual sweetness. Unusual for northern-German pilsners. Quite fullbodied for a pilsner. Bitter, but not that dry finish. Clean and crisp. If they would just change to brown glass, this would be the top northern Pilsner.

(Bottle 33 cl) Straw-golden with a creamy head. Very malty nose and body. Sharp, fresh hoppiness both bitter and aromatic. Nice and very typical North-German pilsener. 131199

A couple of sips of my friends bottle. A nice little blond number with a nice white head, collapsing quickly. Fresh malt but with the green bottle devil...skunk. Fresh malt and nice sharp german hops in mouth, with a nice crisp body, and a nice bitter finish. A good pils.

This beer has a light yellow body - hue apperance and a coarse whitescum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is bitter with a light bitter afther tast.
