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.

Pale yellow color with a quickly fading white head. Good lacing. Aroma of pilsner malts, cereal, light hops. Typical pilsner taste. Stronger body than I was expecting.

Pale golden with dense white head. Minimal aroma. Flavor is very light, grassy with a surprisingly harsh finish

Draught at Q-brick in Osaka. North German hop aroma. Not outstanding, but ok. Piny, grassy, citrus hops in the mouth, along with a light biscuit and bread malt. Good bitter finish. Clean and very drinkable.

Sinnrik i all sin enkelhet. Avskalad, räta linjer. Okonstlad. Samtidigt med en högt tronande beska och en bred smakbas. Överraskande bra.

Bottle shared by zuluflyboy. Pours clear yellow with a bone white head. Nose is light malt, cereal, hop bitterness, and some grass. Flavor is bitterness and light malt with notes of bread and some grass. Interesting pils overall.

Courtesy of jdubFL. Pours almost colorless with a faint hue of gold and white head. The aroma has a nice spice hop pulse followed by grains and floral hops. The taste comes across as fresh and crisp and fairly hop heavy, certainly for the style, with solid bitter notes of spice and floral hops. Those notes are feebly cut by a bit of graininess and an echo of malt. I like this hop forward Pilsener.

ha1ag (609) - Maastricht, NETHERLANDS - OCT 25, 2009
Bottled from Aachen. Pure goldem, with the mustbe white head, grassy hoppy nose. Aroma is lightly bitter, hops. Finished with lots of hops and some malts. Nice made, but nothing special.
