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.

Very pale straw colour. Aroma is very crisp and clean with pale malt and fresh cut hay along with a heavy kick of sulphur. Flavour is very fresh with hay and grass, lean fresh malts. A touch of doughiness and fresh yeasty character. Very drinkable. A well-balanced quaffable brew. Noble hop flavours are there on the finish along with a soft doughy sweetness. Tasty, refreshing brew.

Starch nose, grainy. Looks like piss. Very spicey flavor, light bananas and cloves. Finishes with a biting, tart bitterness.

Bottle. Nose is sweet basmati rice, but hearty. Color is absolutely clear yellow. Taste is very light, but the palate is robust. Still picking up lots of basmati rice in the flavor, but somehow it’s a good thing. Damn good session beer.

(Bottle) Pours a bright golden color with some haziness and a thick white head. Very malty aroma and flavor. Some wheat and citrus notes as well. Could have been a little less sweet, but a good brew overall.

Some honey and lemon in the aroma with hints of flowers. Slightly hazy golden color with no head. Medium to full palate. Good malt flavor with some honey and light herbal-like flavors.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with big bubbly white head. Aroma of light citrus, flowers, and malt. Flavor is light and malty with a slightly bitter haylike finish. Some hints of lemon in the flavor. Slightly metallic taste. Lightly milky palate. Good carbonation.

1/2 L bottle in quart jar @ 45F. Jahrhundert is the color of (slightly cloudy) golden urine sample at mid-morning break time. Aroma is of a small, round, malted skunk frolicking in the tall grass, then pissing on an acorn. Nice two-finger creamy head that lasts and laces. Malt and hops are very well balanced; taste is pure northern European lager yeast, with polecat, and some slight sweet malt and nut flavor. Palate is light and refreshing. This is not even a good Heineken alternative, as I have had Heinies which were less skunk than this (for far less cost).

Pours out a light pale yellow, forming a huge foamy head. Aroma of floral hops, wet forest, wheat grains. Flavor of creamy wheat, lemon, and yeasts that ends with a medium hoppish flare. A pretty tasty beer from our friends in Germany.
