Jever is a town in northern Germany, home to the Friesian Brewery. They have been around since 1848 and brew a pilsener called Jever. I found Jever, while sitting on a balcony in Hamburg overlooking a farmer’s market, to be slightly sweet and pretty bitter–a contrast both crisp and refreshing. The beer itself is gold and clear, with a silght amber tint. The beer has a medium body with light carbonation, giving it a very liquid sensation. Jever is a fine beer for outdoor drinking on a hot day, and especially fine for cooling off after sports or labor.

the German bier info here and in the near future are from my trip to Germany earlier this year…just getting around to putting them up. I have photos of most of the beers but couldn’t find any of this one.

Where have the beerdrinker reviews been my friend? Good to see another one.

nice…was wondering if your monicker had anything to do with beer reviews. *yum*

yeah…I do like the beers. Every now and then I get a little caught up in blahblahblah to get in enough reviews, but I hope to get more done, along with the prerequisite beering.

I’d like to propose that we do a review of all the popular “blue-collar” beers, i.e. Pabst, Oly, etc.

actually, Emma over at Notes did a macro taste-off a few years back…had a bunch of us try and identify macro beers by taste, smell, vomit etc.
i didn’t get any right…damn macros all taste the same to me.

that’s funny…I’d made some boastful claims not long ago and my brother brought me a blind test with about six macros….kokanee, pbr, coors light, miller somethin-somethin. Got them all wrong as well. I chalk it up to the several Bridgeport IPAs I’d had before that, but it’s been haunting me ever since. I’ll try again with a clear palate sometime to clear my name, but in the meantime I wear my shame on my sleeve. But who the heck knows what kokanee tastes like anyway?
