Ayinger Jahrhundert

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

Any first impressions?
-A fluffy head laces complacently over the lightly fogged-up sunrays.
-A gentle aroma of doughy malts is subtle and unidimensional.
-Bready, doughy malts take a lot of room in the flavor profile.
-The mouthfeel is well-rounded by these malts, and is carbonated by fat but spaced bubbles.

What if you dig deeper?
-The aftertaste is too shy for my tastes.
-Feeble citrus fruit are dissolved within the nourishing doughy malt sweetness.
-Blades of straw and drops of milk are found when nitpicking.
-Immensely drinkable while giving the feeling of being fed, but too one-directional for my pleasure. It’s quality cannot be avoided though.

Bottle; no date.

Split with AdamSkillin. This is plantainey. Very pale yellow and cloudy. Decent

Very boring yellow beer, only notable flavor is a starchy banana maltiness, like a plantain. Yellow and unexceptional looking, aroma is starchy also.

Very long lasting head, same goes for the aftertaste. Not a bad beer, but a little too complex. Very earthy aroma.

pours a hazy golden color large white head, aroma of,sweet malt, citrus, and earth, bitter sweet tasting, not a bad body, ok brew.

The aroma is hopped well with herbal and floral hops. It is also grainy with faint but detectable cardboard and yeast elements. The appearance is nice with a large foamy head and somewhat hazy gold color. The flavor is complex but not with flavors that compliment each other. It has soap, grass, paper, citrus, yeast, cereal, and bitter hops. The palate is average and the aftertaste is bitter citrus. I know this is a quality beer but there is just something about the taste that could be better.

This beer pours a foggy straw color, and leaves a very sticky white lace that sticks to the side of the glass. The appearance is foggy with some golden hues throughout. As I taste this beer the grass, malt, lemon, honey, and the very slightest taste of grapefruit bitterness. The mouthfeel is malty the beer just cleanses the palate with crisp carbonation and the finish is semi-sweet with a honey lemon finish. This is a great style my first time trying it, and one I will go back to.

white beer with a huge creamy head that doesn’t move when i tilt the glass. cereal malts, bread, and a quick sugary citrus finish. mild and light bodied.
