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.

12 oz bottle. clear pale golden with frothy white head. Grainy pale malt aroma with spicey hop notes and a touch of green bottle syndrome. Pale sweet malt flavor is quickly attacked by some spicey hop flavor and bitternes. Body is light and well carbonated. Finish is dry with good residual spicey hop flavor and bitterness.

Bottle. Yellow colour with a medium white head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavour is malty, hoppy, spicy and quite bitter. Dry and bitter finish. Very good pilsener.

Bottle. Aroma is bitter hops, citrus. Flavor is actually very hoppy for a pilsner. Definitly the best German Pilsner I’ve had. Basically because there is actually something going on here. Still with a low rating, as I don’t like this type of beer

Tap. Still one of the most extreme Pilsener beers I know of. It is very spicy, harshly bitter, fairly aromatic and harsh hops. Key is to have it fresh.

On tap. Good lacing. Neutral aroma and appearance. Nothing to write home about. Tad of hops, lawnmower.

(6/19/08) Draught at Sophie’n Eck in Berlin. Clear golden color with a medium stable white head. Aroma of grassy hops. A rather hoppy and bitter flavor with nice hops grassiness and lighter malty tones. Medium-bodied. A nice Pils.
