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 love this company but am not a huge fan of this style. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer pours light golden with a large head. The aroma is mild with some vague light malts. The flavor is lightly sweet and flowery. The texture is very carbonated. Overall a heavily carbonated standard lager.

After obtaining a fresh bottle.. wow. Big white head, cloudy yellow colour. Sweet bready malts, yeast, and spicey, almost clovish hops. Well balanced and refrshing.

Straw yellow with just enough haze to fault it on appearance. Nice head which gives off a malty aroma with just a touch of hoppy spice. The flavor is clean and crisp as it should be. Another consistently good product from this brewer.

Wow what a nice Helles bier... it really wowed me that anything like this could come out of a bottle shipped across the pond.... really nice with a full malty body, yet refreshingly lite.

bottle. Nice golden color with a big, creamy head. Nose is malty with hints of spice, hops. Nice malty taste with supporting floral hoppiness. Very refreshing Dortmunder style.

Reminded me of a Belgian White in color. Pale yellow with some haze, but no sediment. Nice white foam head and excellent lacings. Aroma is floral and mildly malty. There is no fruit flavor that I can taste. Beer has excellent balance. Flavor is light and crisp. Finish is clean with no bitterness. Best served cold. Nice.
