3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle 50cl in Kehl (DE). Very fresh and carbonated pils. Hops is very present, the finish is nice too and herbal as written on the bottle. Ok it’s bitter but not unpleasant pecially during the summer.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle - $1.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with an inch of snow white foam. Fine layering of lace on the way down. Very slight effervescence.
Smell: Pilsner malt nose with a distinct graininess. Noble hop scents of flowers and a spicy herbaceousness. Minor whiff of skunkiness initially.
Taste: Pils malts with a dying grainy taste and a touch of honeyed sweetness. Pleasant Noble hop character that’s all at once spicy, floral, and grassy. Medium-high bitterness transitions into an almost mouth-puckering dryness. Final little bumps of clover honey try to peek through, but, for the most part it’s quite dry. Finishes, well, dry and rather crisp.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: It could be a bit fresher and would probably be much better on tap, though this still was fairly solid.

Overall Impression:
Pretty standard Pils, not special, but not bad either...
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is one of the few pilseners I’ve had that can really stand on its own. The flavor is very compact, but also very strong, and the grassy nose almost completely matches up with the taste. Yet, what sets Jever apart from the other Germans I’ve tried is the dryness. From the first sip, you really have to admire the finish of this beer. I would drink this again.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Clear yellow with medium, creamy white head. Aroma is grainy with some spicey, herbal hops. Flavor is herbal with grainess and some grassiness, very strong, not clean at all. Medium and creamy body. A little dirty and bittter, but unique, I’ll give them that.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a gorgeous yellow with a flowing head, stunning... Eminent noble hop aroma, slightly bready.. Flavor follows suit lemongrass, somewhat hoppy, somewhat bready, clean, very clean, easy drinking, flavorful, top notch german pils...
