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.

From the bottle at Brewer’s Art in Baltimore, MD. Poured from the bottle a light golden color, not much different than many mass produced beers. But the difference was in the taste. Upfront the taste is sweet and buttery, almost like buttered toast, and the finish contains a mild bitterness that equals out the sweetness. Damn good Helles.

Clear golden colur, very big head. The aroma and flavour are on the malty side, with sweet notes o bread, but the hop bitterness gives a good balance. Good body.

Bottle. Actually not bad. This beer looks like honey in a glass with a creamy, pearly white head. Very natural / hefen flavor without the the traditional hefen bite. I thought this beer to be very smooth and balanced. Sweet, earthy flavor. Easy finish. Give this one a try. Ayinger is making a bid for one my favorite Euro breweries - good stuff.

This beer was not very good. Straw colored orange, slightly malty aroma. Flavor was not appealing, yeasty and strangely smokey. I did not enjoy this as much as some of the other Ayingers.

Lightly hazy pale straw with orange hints. Very minimal white head. Lightly crispy, lightly sweet aroma with light grain and almost flowery notes in the aroma. The flavor has light grain with very lightly played spicy hops. Some biscuit notes. Very easy drinking. Lightly creamy and nicely carbonated body. A good drink.

bottle - Pours golden with a one finger head. It has a light grainy malt aroma. One thing that surprised me about this beer was how much better the flavor got as it warmed. Initially it seemed pretty lacking in flavor, but as it got a little warmer, the light malt flavors were joined by nice fruity/banana notes. There’s also a little hops, but it’s quite mild and mainly noticeable in the smooth finish. This one in easy to drink and pretty good, but still well short of great.
