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.

Solid hop smell, fizzy CO2 perls with a white header. Golden clear colour. Nice foamy head, a bit frothy. Starts of light bitter and sourish but building up in a rather intense harshness/bitterness. Soft on the lips and rather sparkling on the tongue. Leaves a nice bitter/harsh taste on the roof of the palate. Lively and tasty. A typical northern german beer near the coast. You either like it or not! I certainly like it!

This, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of pilsener. It is my favorite beer, hands down.

Pale yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit sour typical macro malt. Flavor is hay and bread with a hint of citrus and an overall hoppy bitterness.

0,5L can Not the best aroma, a bit skunky, but the body is bursting full of biscuity pilsner malts and herbaceous hops. Medium bodied with a solid bitter finish. Suprisingly good!

Pale yellow color with a quickly fading white head. Good lacing. Aroma of pilsner malts, cereal, light hops. Typical pilsner taste. Stronger body than I was expecting.

Draught at Q-brick in Osaka. North German hop aroma. Not outstanding, but ok. Piny, grassy, citrus hops in the mouth, along with a light biscuit and bread malt. Good bitter finish. Clean and very drinkable.

Sinnrik i all sin enkelhet. Avskalad, räta linjer. Okonstlad. Samtidigt med en högt tronande beska och en bred smakbas. Överraskande bra.
