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.

Thanks to ambergirl for this one! Pour was a bright golden yellow with 1/2" not-too-dense white head. Nose first picked up bananas, grass, and some lighter spices. Very crisp mouthfeel with a nice bready malt backbone. Well-carbonated. Finish is crisp w/ bananas and wheat. Very refreshing brew!

Bottle: Translucent pale yellow, moderate frothy white head, spotty lacing, lively carbonation.   Pale malt nose, grassy, slightly sweet.   Sweet grassy flavor, quite crisp, clean, lingering pale malt flavor well beyond the finish. &nbps Enjoyable body, very smooth mouthfeel.   Perfect finish to a very hot day.   Good stuff!   Cleaner and crisper than many other examples I have had lately.

Hazy yellow with thick eggshell head. Aroma of spicy hops with unusual fruitiness (for a lager). Notes of honey, wildflowers, and bready yeast on the nose. Very malty with an aggressive hop character. Body is highly carbonated with some metallic notes. This is currently my highest rated lager.

Poured a clear deep bright yellow, almost a lime green color, with a small amount of white head. Very cool looking. Aroma is doughy, wheat, malty, and sweet. Flavor is crisp, sweet, hayish, and refreshing. Overall, I found this perfect for a hot summer night.

500ml. bottle. Clear, golden color with a medium white head that quickly dissipated. Fresh malty aroma with some hops in the background and a bit of straw. Clean, mildly sweet malt flavor with a nice hop bitterness on the finish.

The bottle poured a slightly hazy golden yellow beverage with an ample white rocky head. The head lasted well leaving good lacing on the glass. The aroma was composed of moderate malt with notes of earth and hop. There was a medium body with average carbonation and a crisp texture. The flavor starts out nicely balanced with a slight sweetness. As it matures on the tongue, some hop bitterness shows up. The finish is long.

Wierd man, some of these german beers are not what you expect. A sort of barbonated malty beer, with loads of character. Body is strangly full too, woulkd go excellently with food.
