Ayinger Jahrhundert

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

Very carbonated, light gold in color. Bland, slightly bready flavor, only slightly better than any normal American lager.

Looks like liquid lemon merengue pie. Just removing the cap cause a massive volcanic explosion of foam, so needless to say, the beer had a huge whie cap. Aroma was fresh and consists of yeast, light sour cirtus, malt, banana when warmer and a light floral scent. Mild in taste with its sweet malts, hops and something else that I could not decipher. Mouthfeel was ok, nothing special - sour bitterness (weak) around the bottom of the back of the tongue...a little numbing......meh

This beer is a very cloudy straw yellow with a giant white pillowy head, it looks like it will be a good tasting beer. A very strong aroma can smell it from a few feet away, fermenting apples, flowery perfume and yeast attack the nose, good strong smell but not really to sure if I like it. Right on the first sip I Knew I was not going to enjoy this beer, way to sweet tasting for me, stale moldy apple juice mixed with straw is what I taste most, lots of yeast flavor and just with a hint of hops on the finish. It’s not to thin feeling but a touch to much carb for me, I keep expelling massive belches after every second sip. I’m trying really hard to like this beer but I just can’t, the warmer this beer is getting he sweeter it is, having a very hard time finishing it NASTY. Disappointing, very disappointing.

Pours a light gold with minimal head. Aroma has qualities of biscuit, wheat, citrus, and a tiny touch of honey- dry and clean. Flavor has a distinct bready aspect I’ve come to associate with Ayinger, with a delightful and slightly sweet aftertaste. Great palate, nice lighter bodied beer.

straw pour, slight white head. citrusy but clean aroma with a bit of honey. clean and dry in the mouth, pleasant and drinkable. refreshing and a great clean finish

Clear yellow pour with thin white head. Aroma is largely citrus with a sweet biscuity malty grain aspect. Honey is subtle, caramel takes a backseat. Flavor is slightly grain, subsiding into a sweet blend of fruity esters and sweet subdued malt. Palate is caressing and relatively reminiscent of a nice white wine. Very enjoyable and unique.

500ml bottle. Hazy straw yellow with a fluffy white head. Doughy, grassy aroma with some subtle spice. Very smooth, slightly sweet flavor. I couldn’t detect much bitterness in the taste. Perfectly carbonated and light bodied. Easy drinking.

Had in 0.5 L bottle. Pour is hazy golden yellow with a large white head. Grassy and spicy aroma with a bit of malts. Taste is malty with some spicy flavours.
