Ayinger Jahrhundert

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

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.

[bottle from magic_dave6] pours light brown/yellow with a decent head. nose is malty biscuits. body is light, nice beer.

Not the nicest yellow color and a tall foam head. This is a real light yellow, similar to pale lemonade. Aroma is light grass, sticky rice and cheap tomato paste. It really isnt that bad of a scent, but thats what it smells like to me. Flavor picks up a bit, but falls short at the end. It tastes good at first, decent lager, but then it turns a bit thin and watery. Not that great of a beer, but pretty drinkable.

Bottled. Clear golden colour. Medium, lacey head. Lots of tiny carbonation bubbles. Flowery, malty aroma with caramel mixed in. Pretty malty taste for a helles. Toffeish and slightly fruity notes. A medium flowery hoppiness in the finish. Not too sweet, just about right. A great helles. Many thanks to joss.

Crisp appearance and aroma, both being lemony and light. Medium mouthfeel and mild maltiness in the body. Easy drinkability, but pretty blah beyond that.

Malty lager, some hops in the finish. A decent German beer, a little light.

Very nice beer, straw color, light citrus flavor, very clean and balanced. I really liked this brew
