Ayinger Jahrhundert

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Aying, Germany

This is a very clear and light-colored beer. There is a wheat base, solid mouthfeel, and a spicy malt flavor.

Bottle poured a foamy white head that tops off a lemon-yellow colored lager. Nice aroma of lemon citrus with grains. A refreshing and crisp brew but seems to have hop bitterness at the end.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was an average beer I grabbed because of the unique style. Nothing special.

Tinny grain aroma with a touch of pear. Very clear yellow with a thick white head and good lace. It tastes tinny and shitty with a grainy aftertaste.

Very smooth and drinkable beer. Has a mineral and yeast aroma. Small amount of yeast spiciness. The best things about this beer are the jacked up body and the bread/malt flavor. A little too sweet to be a thirst quencher beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light yellow with a sudsy white head. Aroma was malty and yeasty like a freshly baked sourdough bread. The taste was light and fruity like wheat with a toiugh of orange. A smooth and refreshing summer beer.

It’s easy to overlook and miss this beer. The label is kinda plain, the name doesn’t really grab you. But what’s in the bottle is very tasty, so the old saying "don’t judge a book by it’s cover" would be pretty accurate. The beer pours out a yellowish/gold liquid, with a nice foamy brilliant white cap with a nice creamyness to it. Aroma is citrus in nature, which leads your nose directly into the malt path. Other aromas that poke their heads out are yeast, grassy hops and just a hint of tropical fruits. Mouthfeel is smooth, and refreshing. There a really nice balance of grainy malts, grassy hops and an underlying moderately sweet presence reminding me of fruit juice somehow. Super easy to drink. A great beer from Ayinger.

Very nice and a great example of the style, a little weak, but still a good take. This has a very strong biscuity malt background, follow by some grassy herbal hoppiness, some dried fruits, and a somewhat bitter finish. Quite clean and refreshing.
