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. A clear, pale golden beer with a decent white head. Pale malt and fruits in the aroma. A vague hint of anise as well? Sweet and slightly grainy in the mouth, quite fruity and with some hops. Would like more, but it’s appropriate for the style. It almost feel a bit candy-like. Medium body and pleasant carbonation. Short finish with fruityness and a candy-like sweetness. A decent beer, but also rather boring. Quaffable though. (080829)

GREAT! Poured a clear gold with a fluffy white thin bubble head. Nose was cereal some light sour fruits, flowers and a little baked bread character. Flavor somewhat tart a little bitter with lots of light fruit. Noticed a little hops here and there. Very f-ing enjoyable.

Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head. Laces well. Aroma is citrusy, but overly sour. Similar flavors. Light-bodied (too light) with a small finish.

This beer pours a hazy straw color with a massive fluffy white head that eventually goes away some, but never completely. The head eventually becomes "spotty" by that I mean like little clouds on top of the beer in different spots that last till the very bottom, a very weird head retention, and one which I have never seen before. The aroma is pleasant but somewhat faint, good grainy malt notes, and some fruitiness. The flavor is crisp and clean, lightly sweet with malt and slightly citrusy, the major flavor that took me off guard with this one was copper; this tastes very strongly of copper at the back of the mouth, more so than any beer I have ever tasted. This is a pleasure to drink and is very smooth and refreshing without sacrificing very much in flavor, it is in no way complex but it is remarkably different.
