Ayinger Jahrhundert

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

Bottle. Clear golden colored with big white head. The aroma is clean and refreshing, with some malt notes and a light grassy hop aromas.The taste is clean as well, with malt dominating in a subtle way, followed by a dry and slight bitter aftertaste. A well made beer.

A light orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flaovr is sweet malty and hoppy with a slightly bitter end. A cleanly made beer - just not too exciting.

Bottled. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Fruity aroma with notes of alcohol. Fruity flavour of malts and hops. Hoppy finish.

A dort for their 100th anniversary? Why not. This is one masterful brew from an underappreciated brewer. Pours a perfect gold with a finger’s length of fine white bubbles. Smells of bananas, whipped cream, nutmeg and a slight tinge of a grassy note could be picked up here. Taste is sweet and near perfect and is what you’d expect from a good dort with some orange notes, with some very nice subtle hoppy fieldgrass elements. Slightly bitter on the finish. Definitely worthy of the name.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a big white head. Malty sweetness, hoppy aroma and a light sweet malty hoppy taste. Medium body and a light sweet finish.

Light hoppy nose, with some underlying maltyness. Yellow colored body, with a small white head. Sweet and malty flavor, with a very light hoppyness in the end.

ehh, this was kind of a disappointment. expected more from a 100th anniversary beer from a german brewery. it’s ok, I’d say it was a clean, crisp, refreshing brew but was still a bit of a disappointment, kind of bland for what it was.

Ahhh, a big bottle of Ayinger, oh boy I do love Ayinger. Definately a dortmunder, the aroma gives it away, not too bad. Pours big and frothy, flavor is great, a nice sweetness behind the bitter taste creating a very pleasant drinking sensation. Wonderful, I do like Ayinger!
