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.

Bottle from the grocery store. Pours a copper body with a crisp white head. Lots of german malts, grassy, earthy, dry and subtle. Light grainy finish.

Poured from the bottle a reddish golden with thin white head that lasted for much of the glass and left good lacing. Nose is grainy, similar to a macro, and the mouthfeel of this medium bodied beer is somewhat tingly. Flavor is an odd mix of grain, chocolate and tobacco, all of which led to a short dry finish

Bright yellow with a quick fading white head. Spicy, earthy,l hop aroma and some straw malt. Starts with a light body in the mouth, light malt leads into a herbal, tobacco, hop with a dry finish and lingering of both malt and salty hop flavors. I like the time span and fluctuation of flavors.

Golden blond coloured beer with some very light carbonation, and a rather small white head. Little sweet hoppy aroma with some grainy touches. Medium palate. Finish is sweet bitter hoppy, some light herby sweet hints with it. Medium lager.

For some reason in the last few months (or from what I’ve noticed), this beer has exploded in New York -- and with good reason. Jever pours to a light golden color with a 1.5 finger head (in a pilsner glass). Smells grassy and lightly hoppy as a German Pilsener should. On the palate, it’s light without being waify, and contains hints of citrus. This food goes fantastically with food and I especially enjoyed my last experience when it was paired with semi-spicy Thai food.

Big white head colour of straw. Aroma is grassy with malt and hints of hops. Flavour is light, malty with a light biterness in the aftertaste. decent pilsner but not more.

Bottle: Golden colored pour with thin white head. Grassy, hoppy aroma. Bitter hoppy finish. Not bad.
