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.

50cl bottle. Golden with light white head. Aroma is grainy and hoppy. Taste is wheat, malty and some herbs. Lightly bitter aftertaste with a metalic pilsner taste. Not my style.

Butters (2841) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JUL 27, 2008
Pours a clear pale yellow with minimal white head but decent lacing. Sweet and grainy aroma. Solid pilsner flavors, earthy. Saaz hops? Pretty good for a pilsner.

Lakewood, Oh. Rozi’s Wine and Liquor House - 11.2 oz bottle. Light, pale golden pour with a pillowy white head that sticks around a while. Saaz induced hoppy aroma - just this side of skunky. Some honey sweetness, a bit of biscuity maltiness and some lingering bitter notes. Mouthfeel is slightly metallic.

Borresteijn (2596) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - JUL 13, 2008
Nice golden colour, very white head. Hoppy and grassy nose, flavour is very dry, a bit malty with a long bitter finish. Not too thin. This is how a pilsner should taste! Even better from tap, somewhat softer and subtle.

DandyWolfFloyd (378) - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 11, 2008
Very nice. It’s aroma is filled with hops. It’s appearance is a beautiful classic golden body, with a fluffy white head. It’s flavor is gorgeous, a balance of hops, and clean body. It’s very smooth body. A great session.

TrefwoordPunk (652) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - JUL 3, 2008
Bottle 50 cl. Pours a pale clear yellow with a small white head and spicy, hoppy sroma. The taste is a really thin malt-taste. But when it is in your mouth for over a second you feel the hops tickling everywhere. THe finnish is also a really nice hop-bitter. Best pilsener I ever had
