Brewed by Jever (Oetker Group)
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Jever, Germany

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Golden with fat white head. Woody aroma with notes of spices and malt. Crisp and tart. Malty flavour with some sweetness. A bit grassy with firm growing bitterness.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a medium white head. Clean floral hoppy aroma and flavour with notes of caramel. Long bitter flowery finish. Nice.

While unpopular with the missus(not too into the style), I thought this was a nicely hopped German Pils. Good for the style. Serving: Tap

Not particularly hoppy by american standards but it is one of the German pilsener with a clearly present hop flavor beyond the bittering additions. Very smooth mellow malt character as well. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours clear pale yellow with a nice big and lacing egg white head. Aromas of grain, malt, butter and grassy hops. Flavors pale malt, herbs and hops. Nice bitter finish. Tasty.

Pour form an 11.2 oz green bottle. Classic lager look with two fingers of head on a fine golden body. Excellent hoppy aroma – reminds me of Augsberger circa 1980, which could be smelled across the room. Flavor is light graininess with a fine and full grassy and bitter hops profile. Dry, lingering finish. While fully hopped this is not some silly exercise in cramming as much hops into a brew as possible – it’s just a really flavorful, really good brew.

Bottle. Bright yellow, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma of grass and straw. Taste is very bitter throughout, some black pepper. Light body.

Sampled at the World Beer Festival Richmond, 6/12/10. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a medium frothy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Grassy aroma with sweet grainy notes and a bit of skunk. The taste is very grassy with grainy and nutty notes. Medium bodied.
