Jever Pilsener

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

First time I’ve seen this in the beer store. Green 12 oz bottle and when you pop the lid there are hints of vegatable boiled cabbage, sharp at first. Pour is like any other ubiquitous american lager. In the glass, the aroma becomes much more acceptable and clean. Taste is slightly bitter pilsner that build slowly to a medium bitterness. A more oppressive pilsner, like most of the ones considered ’good’. A mild beer with a building climax of a back in throat bitterness. Good average carbonation and it is welcomed. Personally I like pilsners that are a little laid back, but then would it be a pilsner? Warsteiner Premium Verum is much more acceptable than this as far as bitter impressions go. On par with DAB, St. Paulie and Bittburger.

50cl bottle from a small store in Dunckerstraße, Berlin. Pours clear pale golden with a white head. Haven’t had this one in a long time, but since it was the favourite beer of a guy we visited I had to try it again. Didn’t expect much, but it was actually much nicer than I remembered it. Moderate malty and lightly herbal aroma with nice hoppy notes. Moderate sweet with a surprisingly nice bitterness. Nice and fresh pilsner - refreshing and enjoyable. (2013-10-12)

Bottle: Poured a clear golden with white head. Aroma is kinda skunky with corn and grain. Eek overwhelming grass taste, water, and bitter.

Courtesy of jdubFL. Pours almost colorless with a faint hue of gold and white head. The aroma has a nice spice hop pulse followed by grains and floral hops. The taste comes across as fresh and crisp and fairly hop heavy, certainly for the style, with solid bitter notes of spice and floral hops. Those notes are feebly cut by a bit of graininess and an echo of malt. I like this hop forward Pilsener.

Can. Colour - straw, clear, one inch white cap. Aroma - grains, light citrus, beach sand. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, good carbonation. Flavour - grains, some herbal and spicy hop notes, and again, maybe a little citrusy not. Pretty good for an inexpensive German lager.

Single can from the LCBO. Pours a light yellow colour with a big white frothy head, good retention and creamy lacing. Mild sweet aromas of cereal malts with the light Saaz pilsener hops. The taste seems sweet at first, but the hops create a small bitterness over it. No corn detected. Seems like a decent mild pilsener with nice hops.

A recent find at the provincial liquor outlet and featured in the glossy monthly magazine. Canned, and pours into the glass as a clear light gold liquid. Cereal malt dominates the aromatics with ample hoppy tones. The flavour is nicely balanced between with malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. Not bad for $2 beer.

The beer poured a translucent light gold colour with a generous white bubbly head that quickly became a thing ring. The aroma is grassy malt and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma, although the hoppy bitterness lingers a while.
