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. Pours lots of head with cloudy golden color. Fruity aroma. Tastes both sweet and bitter, almost like a bizarro hefeweizen.

Golden colored, little white head. Sweet, fruity aroma with grains and mild floral hoppiness. Medium bodied. Flavor is not as soft as aroma: grains, lemon and hops dominate, maybe slight metallic tones in the end. Aftertaste dries with lemon and hops.

Bottled. Yellowish colour with mediumsized white bubbly head, leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet grassyness along with a bit bready hints. Flavour is bready, earthy, slightly acidic hoppy and caramellish. Ok balanced, but I got bored quite fast. Long straw-hayish aftertaste.

500mL bottle, poured into a pilsner glass. Smell was quite skunky, possibly a bad bottle. Poured a very light gold, very slight head. Had a surprisingly malty flavor, with the correct balance of hops. I was quite surprised with how good this tasted after my initial impression of the aroma. Overall a decent brew, but not anxious to try it again.

500ml - Classic Eurolager with a little more developed wood in palate. Appearance of this beer scores very high with me.

Poured pale yellow lemon juice gold with white bubbles, a few floaties in the brew, looks a little murky, aroma of sweet and pilsner malt, faint citrus fruit and sour, little bread fragrances, light malt taste, hop bitterness, citrus sour on the tongue, more hop sourness then I have encountered in other Dortmunders, other Dortmunders had a definite standout malt taste, this has the hop bitterness right up there to meet the malt, I could see this being good on a hot summer day.

Mid-grade aroma with suggestions of flowers and likable esters. Small film-type head after the pour head settles down. Nice appearance with a dirty yellow quality. Very nice flavor consisting of honey and slight bitterness. This is my first time trying this beer but overall I really like it.

Pours bright gold into a shaker. Fluffy micro head with excellent retention. Fruity malt aromas. Crisp with upfront fruit and a dry lager finish.
