Ayinger Jahrhundert

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

Thank you Masn/g2b.dk. The color is light golden and the head is nice and white. The aroma has notes of malt, straw and a touch of hops. The flavour has notes of straw, malt, light sweetness and a light citrussy bitterness. It’s somewhat stale, and that pulls the overall impression down. 2558

Pours a bubbly, cloudy yellow. Great fruity, hoppy aroma. Delicious, flavorful and complex. Dry with not a lot of malty sweetness. A great fine-drinking beer for special occasions. Highly recommended. Great with heavy food. $2.99 for a 1/2 liter bottle. 120%

500ml bottle poured into a lager glass. AJ pours greenish-yellow like ginger ale and slightly cloudy. it has a medium-sized white head with large rocky bubbles. The head settles quickly leaving rings of foam on the glass. The minimal aroma consists of citrus fruit and clean laundry. AJ is dry and slightly fruity. A nice mineralized water taste like that from a fresh stream is dominant and delightful. There is a long lasting aftertaste that ensures you won’t forget about this beer on the side table when distracted with something else.

pour is a very clear pale yellow with a small fizzy white head, okay lacing. smell of grass, hay, grain, touch of citrus. taste is grain, dough, some lemon, ends on the dry side and a bit sour, reminds me of a lager more than a helles.

Pours a four finger white head that fades very slowly leaving a trace of lace. Ugly cloudy green/amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Slight citrusy nose. Flavor is more like a wheat than a lager - lemony, smooth some sweetness, clean finish. $2.35 for a 330ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

Pours a nice head, Ayinger style. Aroma: Some nice floral hops, but too much boring malt comes through. Light citrus notes help it out a bit. Palate is thin and watery. Finishes pretty dry with strong sour acidity. I thought on my first tasting of this beer that I got an old/bad bottle, but I’m pretty sure this one was fresh enough, yet the experience is similar.

Bottle 0.5 l. Clear hay yellow, white airy head. Hay and bready malts on nose. Flavor is sour bread malty with alcohol sweetness and acidic sour bitterness, which I find a bit uninviting. Dry sour aftertaste. Not a very good helles. Disappointing brew from Ayinger.

16.1 oz bottle-A light golden body with a nice white head which has an aroma of grass, lemony, and bread yeasty. A light body that has the same flavors with some acohol and malt along with some sweetness. Not a bad tasting brew.
