Commercial Description:
Jahrhundert is bright and beautiful, the color of a desert at sunrise. The long lasting head is creamy and thick. The taste is pure malt, clean, fresh, and round, like a fine dry wine. The flavor is bread-like, fruity and earthy—delicious, with an aftertaste that is clean and long lasting.

Bottle I ordered from the beerangel webshop, shared with ogivlado and heavy
This one poured a golden-yellow body with a big white head that went away relatively slow. Honeyish grainy nose (surprise surprise), nice in a way though. The taste is dominated by maltiness, like the commercial description says... the hopiness shows only in some very very light lemony notes that merge nicely with the malt. The maltiness is nice, honeyish, slightly heavier than the norm here, light eggy notes again but not much. It’s a typical quality lager, far from the best I’ve had but still very drinkable.

Bottle @William K, Helsinki. Pours yellow, quite thin white head. Grass in aroma at first sniff. A little sweet in flavor, fruity.

Bottle; good beer, quite different. Aroma was citrusy (Lemony) with almost grassy or woods notes. Flavor was somewhat sweet (not bitter) with a champagne characteristic. My wife does not drink beer but enjoyed this one.

Serving: 500 ml. bottle. Appearance: Cloudy yellow with a foamy, white head. Okay head retention. Aroma: Spicy lemon citrus nose with notes of light honey, grass, and yeast. Flavor: Honey forward on the tongue with light yeast, dust, melon, and floral notes. A fairly tasty brew. Palate: Medium, sparse carbonation with a light, slightly watery mouthfeel and a short, slightly floral finish. Overall: It is a light, honey sweet brew that is probably best for the warmer months. Not too shabby and probably one of of the better tasting of the style.

Aroma of bread, honey and white grapes. Appearance is cloudy with white foamy head. Flavor of white grape, clover, banana and tart apple. Palate was lively. Pretty good brew from my favorite German brewery.

Pale pour and a substantial head. Mild lager aroma. A malty and lightly spicy brew, with a sweet, whole grain bread flavor. Another exemplary offering from this fine brewery.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of joss. Silage grains, chestnut, malt, soy sauce and no hops at all in the taste. Extemely low bitterness. Poor. Malt dominated. Malty finish. Thanks a lot joss!

Pours clear golden straw into the glass, with a huge foamy white head that reduces to light soap lace. The nose is of sweetness and silage grains. The flavors are bready, sweet malt, and yeast... with some grains and earth hitting toward the finish. A nice round body with a medium mouthfeel, and well-integrated carbonation levels... sweet malt abounds throughout. Not bad, and a lot of flavor for a helles.
