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.

Pale golden yellow, dense white pad leaving lots of lace. Faintly lemony aroma, sweet. Rich malt palate, vaguely fruity with a pleasant bitter finish. Tasty and drinkable.

Pour is a bright yellow lemonaid lookalike. Aroma is bready and yeasty. Flavor is dusty and malty. Hops are in there somewhere but don’t stand out. Overall pretty tasty for a lager and prob one of the better helles i have had.

Nice malty and bready aroma follows a pour that is a light clear yellowish golden. The head is of decent size but short lasting. The malty flavor comes through at the forefront along with a hoppish finish on the palate.

malty bread aroma, floral notes. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow, thin head. Flavour is light and crisp, grassy. Finish is clean. Light bitter finish. Nice summer drinking beer.

(bottle from joss – thanks !) Clear golden colour with a fluffy stable white head with nice lace. Slightly dusty and moderately sweet bready aroma with hay, floral hops in the background and a touch of honey. Balanced sweetbitter flavour, medium body, well carbonated slightly crispy mouthfeel. Malty and grainy start with balanced hops; dry and gentle bitter lasting finish with distinctive but not intrusive hoppiness. Very good and subtle Helles, fits perfectly to accompany (not only) a Bavarian meal.

25 oz. bottle into glass. Thick head, but most impressesd with the taste and long, strong finish.

Poured a pale golden with a light fluffy white head. This bear is all about malt. A light sweetness with a full malt body. Not much hops going on here, but not needed. This beer is not cloyingly sweet, it has a nice refreshing quality to it. When held up to light, I can see light specks in the beer as if wheat was used. MIght explain the crisp nature with such small amounts of hops.

Bottle (donated by joss): Pale golden, huge fluffy white head, rather quickly diminishing; sweetish-grainy nose; sweet and distinctive bitter flavour; shorter sweet and well hopped finish. Pleasant, but not a "century-brew" !
