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.

Archibaldo de la Cruz (762) - FINLAND - SEP 5, 2008
Bottle. Yellow colour with a medium white head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavour is malty, hoppy, spicy and quite bitter. Dry and bitter finish. Very good pilsener.

Mogwai (227) - Askeby, DENMARK - AUG 22, 2008
Bottle. Aroma is bitter hops, citrus. Flavor is actually very hoppy for a pilsner. Definitly the best German Pilsner I’ve had. Basically because there is actually something going on here. Still with a low rating, as I don’t like this type of beer

HopheadHans (789) - Bay Area, California, USA - AUG 22, 2008
Tap. Still one of the most extreme Pilsener beers I know of. It is very spicy, harshly bitter, fairly aromatic and harsh hops. Key is to have it fresh.

Sammy (5887) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 19, 2008
On tap. Good lacing. Neutral aroma and appearance. Nothing to write home about. Tad of hops, lawnmower.

DSG (2635) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 8, 2008
(6/19/08) Draught at Sophie’n Eck in Berlin. Clear golden color with a medium stable white head. Aroma of grassy hops. A rather hoppy and bitter flavor with nice hops grassiness and lighter malty tones. Medium-bodied. A nice Pils.

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 7, 2008
50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Smooth and hoppy aroma, mild fruity. Flavour is mild sweet at first but is soon taken over by a potent bitterhops flavour with a mild fruity accent. Ends smooth yet with a solid bitterness bite. Surprisingly good given the other strange Jevers around.

alexsdad06 (2230) - Ohio, USA - AUG 1, 2008
Bottle. Pours a clear pale golden color with a medium sized frothy white head. The aroma was grainy, bready, and some hoppy notes as well. The flavor is more grain and bready, light fruit, bittering hops. Light/medium mouthfeel with a dry bitter finish. Not something I would do again.

mec3437 (53) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JUL 30, 2008
Lively aroma, and smooth drinking. A bit bitter on the aftertaste. Not really my cup of tea, but it wasn’t too bad. I’d drink it again.
