Jever Lime

Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Fruit Beer
Jever, Germany

Serve in Flute

Made with Jever Pilsener, Jever lime is my favourite lime-mix beer. Good for hot summer days, as it kept a bit of the original bitterness beside the added lime.

Giftgrüne Farbe. Süßer, aber annehmbarer Antrunk, eine verhaltene Herbe ist im Antrunk und im Nachgeschmack erkennbar. Im Mittelteil gibt es keine Überraschungen, süß, leicht fruchtig, was etwas künstlich wirkt. Im Nachgeschmack ist neben dem angesprochenen herben Touch auch zu erkennen, dass hier Süßstoffe am Werk waren. Auch bleibt eine unangenehme Note am Gaumen kleben, erinnert an eine Aspirin Tablette. Alles in allem eigentlich ein normales Radler, geht durchaus in Ordnung. Test vom 18.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,8,8,7,11,8 - 7,90

Interresting idea to mix a dry beer with lime juice 50/50. The beer is a bit on the bitter side, not much of the pleasant sourness and citridity the original gave.

The bottle looks good. For a lemon not bad. The beer tastes not as chemical as others of this style. But also very sweet. I don’t really like it.

Bottle. Strong limeade aroma with a hint of grass. Clear yellow-green color with moderate head. Sweet lime soda initially with a mild hint of the typical Jever hops in the finish. Tasty - as usual with these I wish the beer flavor came out more.

Found in the K&K in Nordhorn, must be a beer/lemon mix. Artificial lemon aroma. Lime flavor with an underlying grapefruit bitterness. I can hardly taste any beer, although Jever pils is one of the hoppiest pilseners in Germany. Was has happened to this proud brewery?

Clear yellow with a medium off white head. Very sweet aroma with nothing but lime. Flavour likewise and it finished sweet. I think I would actually like the style if cut down on the lemon. To dominating really.

Thin watery brew with hints of the fruit in both aroma and flavor. This is not a good beer.
