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.

This is a great pilsner. Has a nice bitterness to it, very much enjoyable.

Sigmund (4280) - Tau, NORWAY - APR 11, 2002
UPDATED: NOV 6, 2005 Crisp German pils with considerable hoppy bitterness. Rerate on tap in Hamburg: Light bodied, but dominated by a distinct hoppy bitterness from start to finish. Typical Northern German pilsener style.

Re-Rate : I really really liked the first one of these i had, however now i think my taste buds were contaminated slightly from the previous beer i had just drank. after retrying this, its bitter with a foul vegetable odor, and completely unexciting.

Hoppy aroma and taste. Long bitter finish. Dryer than most German pilseners

alebrewer (140) - Mentor, Ohio, USA - FEB 5, 2002
I had this fresh in Germany and it’s far and away one of the top German Pilsners. The high level of hop bitterness and flavor are well balanced with the malt.

HighlanderOne (886) - Bergen County, New Jersey, USA - JAN 28, 2002
This one scared me with a skunky odor when first opened. But I found it to be a solid, full flavored pils.

Ron (2004) - Rochester, New York, USA - JAN 27, 2002
The one bottle I got at beers of the world must have sat around awhile because it was skunky and a bitter aftertaste. I hope to try a fresh one someday.
