COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This beer was first brewed in 1978 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our brewery. It has a golden-yellow color with a slightly flowery yeast, honey-ish aroma, tastes a little spicy and is full-bodied in initial taste, mild before swallowing and soft with a refined sparkle and fades with a well-balanced hint of bitterness. It is an especially drinkable and harmonious beer. Conrad Seidl, known as the Austrian “Pope of Beers”, on the Jahrhundert-Bier: “It is a malty beer that pronounces the precious earthy quality of malted barley.”

11.2 oz bottle: Aroma is slightly malty. Not an overwelming smell. Pours golden with a white head. Taste is a bit higher carbonation than I’d like, with a good mouth feel. Not what I’d expect from a 100 year beer. That said, it has a decently fruity if not slightly malty flavor. Overall not bad.

Two finger head light yellow bubbles up like soap. smells like honey and biscuits and violet perfume. Taste is less sweet than it smells, but works into a serious honey-bomb of flavor. The light framework of hops works well.

ryanscourt (278) - Pennsylvania, USA - APR 30, 2013
Strong sweet biscuit aroma and flavor. Interesting flavors and body. Strong honey notes. Very mild finish with light lingering hops. Sweet aftertaste, a little different. Not my favorite ayinger but enjoyable.

johnnnniee (1499) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - APR 30, 2013
Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a decent sized brilliant white head that slowly dissipates to a cap on top. Smells of grainy malt like the mash tun on brew day with a light floral hop to balance. The flavor is sweet and malty with honey like grains and light earthy spice hops to counter. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet mouthfeel. Nice clean well made lager that I could literally smell all day.

mikkopen (662) - Oulu, FINLAND - APR 30, 2013
500 ml bottle. Pale golden colour, medium-sized white head. Malty aroma with some sweetish fruity notes. The flavour is malty, with notes of butter and honey, and a mildly grassy-hoppy finish. OK.

Bottle pour from The Slanted Door. From the bottle: "Crisp, Golden (Honey), Well-balanced." I agree.

Lambister (85) - FINLAND - APR 23, 2013
50 cl bottle. Light brown pale color with medium head. Aroma is quite dull, but taste strikes with acid and some bitterness. It is quite full bodied for a lager like beer and has long after taste for its kind. All in all a good one.

Golden colored with a medium sized white head. Light and crisp, malty and sweet. Honey, citrus, and a bit of spice deep down. Smooth and full bodied, leading to a nice finish.

Alpha10 (104) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 20, 2013
2013/04/20 - Pours a light yellow/gold with a foamy white head that laces nicely. Aroma is grass, honey and apples. Taste is citrus, malty apple up front with a slightly metallic and bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium, with lots of biting carbonation and a crisp finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
