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.

A decent pilsner but nothing special. Maybe it’s because I’m somewhat indifferent to German pilsners and usually prefer wheat beers but I wasn’t really impressed. The taste was crisp but a little too bitter. I can’t find this beer anywhere in SoCal but maybe if I find myself back in Niedersachsen sometime I’ll have another one.

zebracakes (1340) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 5, 2008
Bottle. Pours pale clear yellow, white head. Aroma is wheat, grass, hops skunkiness. Flavor is hoppy, wheaty, grassy, and crisp. This is a good pilsener.
