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 (330ml). Two bottles from me and blankboy, shared with tupalev. Hazy pale yellow with a large fluffy/foamy white lasting head. Really good balance of soft grassy hops, honey and wheat. Taste follows, just add in a dollop of lemon. Average body, soft and mildly acidic, appropriate life, quick finish, grassy linger. Really good.

Appearance is clear gold with fairly nice white head. Aroma of grass, malt, hops, and some herbal notes. Flavors of grain, herbal hops, and lemon zest. Not a but lager.

16.9 foamy white head tops off a lemony-yellow colored lager. nice grainy nose with grassy tones and a lemon citrus character. a refreshing and crisp approach is well balanced by a fresh hop bitterness. great session beer.

8/1/07 From the bottle. Aroma is sour malt forward, tart apple hop flavor and a sweet background. Appearance is medium yellow with a moderate white head. Flavor is grainy, slightly candilike with solid bittering to balance and a strange mineral/hard water taste. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied medium/high carb texture and a dry finish. Overall, a reasonably complex light lager with some surprising mineral notes and strange dryness for style.

clear golden with medium unlasting white frothy head. nice fruity aroma of lemon and bananas with some bread. medium body and crisp carbonation. banana cookie flavor with some pears, apples, and a hint of smoked earth. very very fruity, good but a little surprising

bottle. hazed yellow with an anemic head. dusty malt nose with a bit of honey & flowers. sweet full mouthfeel. damn, i can tell i’m not eating right & dropping weight. i’m fixating on the sweet notes of everything lately. there is a bit of a butter note that lingers here. a sugar cookie like flavor is in there somewhere too. much better looking head when i topped off my glass with the remainder of the bottle. i swear i taste some pear and banana in this. much more fruity flavors than i expected, i did a double check just to make sure this was a lager. a very interesting beer, and not one i dislike either.
