Its a good light beer.

Bottle. Strong barley wort aroma. Clear golden yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet barley wort and moderately bitter grass/quinine flavor. Nice for a low alcohol - what I expected from Jever.

Bottle, green glass, by 05/12. No skunk in this one, a light whiff of grass and faint malt in the nose. Pours clear, very pale golden with a white head. Taste has that undiminished, characteristic Jever bitterness that lasts and lasts with perhaps less balancing sweetness/malt; of course nowhere near Nanny State Territory but it still has that unforgiving, brutal quality that always has me glad I didn’t buy a case. Medium, soft body with a significant hop bite. Pretty good for a Shankbier-conversion.

0,3 l fles. Een beetje weinig smaak toch nog iets bitter. Niet slecht voor een alcohol arm bier in elk geval geen chemisch smaakje.

Besonders im Antrunk merkt man deutlich das "light", dirket im Anschluss wird allerdings das Herbe Aroma schön stark und verdrängt das light-Gefühl. Im Abgang kann leider auch das herbe Aroma den typischen getreidigen unangenehmen Geschmack verdrängen. Trotzdem ein sehr annehmbares Light-Bier. Test vom 22.8.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,8,8,7,7,8 - 7,60

Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is light metallic grassy hop, with notes of hemp. Flavour is watery, light malt, bitter and light grassy hop.

2.7% alc in my sample, bought in Saarlouis, Deutschland. The thing I love about Jever is the bitterness, and it carries over to this one as well, I know its not regular Jever, but flavor is closer than any euro "light" bier I´ve had to its original, very drinkable, if I chose a low alc pils, this would be it.

Yellow with a lasting white head. Aroma of grassy and herbal hops, with a touch of grainy malt. Thin, dry and hoppy flavour with a little wort-like malt. Rather watery, but bitter finish.
