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.

vikingbeercbus (34) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAR 24, 2009
Tap. Bright yellow, clear. Light nose. Thin white head. Taste is typical pils on the front, but the back has a unique bitterness that lingers. Light palate, a great light beer with the added bitter tastes of wheats and hay. Very enjoyable with a light lunch.

PJClarke (1407) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAR 15, 2009
A good clean german look about this one. A mix of light cereals and airy german hops on the nose. Lovely bitterness in this with hay flavours and smooth oddly heavy grass notes. Smooth and refreshing. Really quaffable this one, has a great refreshing virtue.

NomDeBeer (414) - Maryland, USA - MAR 11, 2009
UPDATED: FEB 25, 2011 Pours a very pale clear gold color with no head. Aroma is funky BO, feet, and barnyard hay. Taste is dry and hoppy, with more notes of earthy grass, hay, and may be some lemon. Nice hoppiness to this. Drinkable and enjoyable.

danielst (226) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - MAR 8, 2009
UPDATED: AUG 16, 2009 Pours typically pilsener golden with a nice head. Aromas of grassy hops, nice and fresh. Bitter taste of hops with only few notes of corn and malt. My first favourite and probably one of the best german macro-pilsners.

bhensonb (7143) - Woodland, California, USA - FEB 23, 2009
Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Golden color with a three-finger white head. Aroma of noble hop. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is a bit pale malt with a pretty good dose of grassy hop. Reminds of imports of decades ago. Low-key good lager.

Gary (1014) - London and Rochester, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 22, 2009
500ML: Too much hate brought to this awesome Pils: I reckon this is tops:Its got an unassuming vibe. Extremly dry & with a bready base-a bit aromatic. Just hook the mini keg to my veins.
