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.

I thought this to be a pretty good lager. It was nice and light, crisp, etc. It’s a little overpriced IMO.

Very light light yellow color with a thin white head.Strong yeast grass aroma. Dry caramel bread like taste. Slightly bitter hops balanced nicely with Malt. One of the best offerings I have had from Ayinger. Highly recommended. I got this at Great Spirits in Huntsville, AL.

Pours hazy pale yellow with a thick and fizzy white head. Citrus aroma smells of mandarin oranges, banana, wheat, and grassy hops. Delicous, almost hefeweizen taste. Very creamy with a slight sweetness. Grassy hops and earth tones also dominate the palate. Nice crisp finish is dry and slightly bitter.

Pour is bright golden yellow straw color with a big dense beautiful white head that faded into a bright white skin...smell is nicely hoppy with dry grassy notes...taste is indeed breadlike, almost with some pumpernickel notes with a lightly sweet quality fading into a bitter dry finish....

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden with a small head. Lovely hoppy aroma and flavours dominated by sweet malt. A pleasant one. Great name! 160402

Golden pour with a sizeable head. Interesting, the foam was grouping together unlike any other beer. It almost looked like a smiley face in the glass. Totally weird. Aroma was lagery - malty. Hints of bread and earth, but overall I wasn’t a big fan of this. I’ll stick with their Celebrator.

Big malty aroma, some floral hoppy notes. Light yellow, pours a large, long lasting, rocky off-white head. Flavour is sweet malt, hint of fruit, (green grape,) unsalted cracker, some fine hops also. Light bodied, crisp, clean, wonderfullerly bitter, loads of carbonation. Terrific! I feel this style is very much under-rated.

500mL bottle. Label is slightly different than that in the picture. A fairly clear pale-gold pour with a thick and fizzy off-white head that leaves some slight rings of lace. Crisp aroma of lemon, wheat, yeast and some cream. The taste is definitely bready and malty. A little one-dimensional. I wasn’t expecting this taste at all from the aroma. Quite perfumed. Grainy body with the slightest hints of orange and lemon. Not a style I think much of, I guess. Fairly bland and boring. Still, it’s a refreshing and solid beer.
