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. Several in Germany and more Stateside. One of my favorites, and probably my gateway beer to sampling more! Nicely hoppy and fruity aroma. Moderate white head. Light crisp taste. Wonderful! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

DrSilverworm (696) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - FEB 5, 2012
Sample at the 2012 Cincinnati Brew-haha. Clear, paler yellow golden color, a minimal off-white head. Lagery, skunky, typical german pilsner aroma, hint of weird-tasting hops. Some bitterness, a little tangy-sweetness, but not much taste overall, really. Crisper carbonation, dry texture. A decent, tangier pilsner (but still just a pils)

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Wie kann man ein Bier nur so mit Hopfen vollbollern? Der anfängliche Nachgeschmack ist nahezu unerträglich. Beim Mittelteil legt sich das ganze etwas. Wenn der bitterböse Nachgeschmack nicht wär, könnt man’s noch einigermaßen trinken...

Lagunitasfan (1243) - San Diego, California, USA - JAN 28, 2012
On tap. Crystal clear super light pale with zero head. Light honey and hay on the nose and in the mouth. Nicer flavor than expected. Sharp peppery hay and dry in the mouth/dry finish.

Martinus (652) - Nijmegen, NETHERLANDS - JAN 26, 2012
Light golden champagne colour, white head. Hoppy aroma, grass, some malts. Bitter hoppy flavour, some malty sweetness. Lively carbonation, long bitter finish. Nice and crisp German pilsener.
(From 33cL bottle @ Café Samson, Nijmegen)

wxman (887) - O’Fallon, Illinois, USA - JAN 21, 2012
On tap at Global Brew. Pours a very pale yellow with a slight green tint. Nice full white head that stays on the surface throughout. Clean crisp taste of pale malt and a little citrus and bread. This is a classic north German pils. Very enjoyable.

neur0 (134) - GERMANY - JAN 21, 2012
(Flasche) Es hat eine sonnengelbe Farbe. Es ist klar filtriert und hat eine weiße Schaumkrone. Das Aroma ist primär malzig mit würzigem Hopfen. Im Geschmack kommt zuerst sie schlanke Bittere, die recht stark ist. Im Hintergrund ist minimal Süße. Im Abgang ist Bittere, im Nachgeschmack nichts. Zusammengefasst ein süffiges Pils.
