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.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2012 One of my favorite beers. Have had it in bottles in Germany and the U.S., although I had to have a case shipped to me from the East Coast since there is no distributor on the West Coast (I am in California). Light gold in color, pronounced hops. Considered the bitterest beer in Germany. Excellent, crips and refreshing taste. A great pilsner.

Not so intensive hoppy aroma. Clear light golden body. Quickly dissapearing head. Good bitterness with nice aftertaste. Overall avarage at most.

Bitter hoppy and grassy flavor. Wonderful refreshing. Light yellow with a nice head. Fresh and fizzy. Long lasting nice but strong medium flavor.

Itzjerm (578) - Taft, Tennessee, USA - APR 26, 2013
Probably best pilsner I had in Germany. But green bottles are sure to destroy this mild beer if it sits long. Sweet with very mild bitter end. Enjoyable almost like a kolsch just not as fruity. No head though. Very good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Armadill0 (38) - FINLAND - APR 25, 2013
Bottle. Nice golden color. Lots of white foam. Aroma is quite strong with hops dominating it. Taste is light at first but quickly gives a hoppy bite. Some metal side notes. Quite strong bitter aftertaste. Odd on the palate. All in all a decent beer. Somewhat lacking in style but makes for a nice all-rounder.

Senap (49) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - APR 20, 2013
Klämmer en flaska, den första på bra länge. Tidigare uppfattade jag denna som en ganska besk och krispig öl. Nu känns den bara ganska platt. Har smaken ändras eller min smakuppfattning? Läskigt!

Lilja (950) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 13, 2013
Väl kyld är denna öl helt okej en varm sommardag. Smak och doft som en pilsner, humle, malt, en aning frukt. Lätt sötma med en lite örtig beska.

0,33L bottle. Hop aroma is pleasant and not so light. Nice crisp and hop taste coming nicely out. Good drinkable pilsener. Finish is medium bitter and this gives normal taste.
