This beer was first brewed in 1978 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our brewery. It has a golden-yellow color with a slightly flowery yeast, honey-ish aroma, tastes a little spicy and is full-bodied in initial taste, mild before swallowing and soft with a refined sparkle and fades with a well-balanced hint of bitterness. It is an especially drinkable and harmonious beer. Conrad Seidl, known as the Austrian “Pope of Beers”, on the Jahrhundert Bier: “It is a malty beer that pronounces the precious earthy quality of malted barley.”

Clear pale golden colour with a high head, though vanishing fast. Aroma is hoppy, malt and some kind of honey sweetness. Taste is quite hoppy, with a dry finish. Medium carbonation...probably my favorite Münchner Hell beer, less sweet than usual, and with more hoppiness. Nice.

A golden, clear beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is pure and malty, grass and wheatfield. Taste is strongly malty, nice bitterness with grass. An aftertaste is slightly drying and bitterness is still there. Medium bodied, quite smooth carbonation. Pure and malty beer with the smooth touch.

Location: .5 L bottle from Sparrow-Downtown, 12/5/12
Aroma: This one has a clean lagery nose, lots of malts, some grass, a little caramel, fruit, and spice
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a frothy white head, lots of bubbles, and medium lace
Flavor: Tastes fairly sweet, with basically all the same components as the nose, and a lightly bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a has a fairly clean feel, average carbonation, and a slightly dry finish
Overall Impression: Interesting stuff for sure. This is one of the best examples of this style that I can remember. It is quite clean and drinkable. It's really just a great example of a malty beer done right. I didn't expect this to be as good as it was.

Half-litre bottle: best before 04/2013, poured into a Budweisr Budvar stemmed tulip @ home in 11/2012. Looked good: clear, clean, bright and golden. On top a snow white covering of thick foam. Floral aroma, fairly pronounced for a lager/pilsner style brew: the taste is also on the floral side with a mini-sweetness coming through the hop dryness of the mouth feel. Grainy, yeasty and tasty (rarely use the word tasty when talking about lager based brews). This had body and depth of flavours: I really enjoyed it. Second half of the bottle was taken with some ’Emmental Cheese, home made Green Tomato Chutney and dry salted biscuits, the beer complimented the food very well in deed.

500ml bottle from Bottle Shop Canterbury. Cant believe i have not had this and perhaps i should put on my rates from bamberg and munich so i am up to date. Cos i liked the ayinger bar in munich. Anyway here i am drinking this beer on a train on my way home to pizza and football. So i am in a happy place except i have just had a pint of girardin kriekenlambic and any beer after that is going to suffer. Looks clear from the bottle. Noble hop aroma. Its a half decent beer to be honest . Finish is particularly good. Its rather good. Dec12 on bottle so fresh but not super fresh but tastes pretty good. Wow shockingly good. Thats a good pager. Noble hops are good. Proves you dont have to overly do things just do them well. Mouthfeel is clean as anything. Just so damn drinkable. Surprise of the day for me.

500 ml bottle into pilsener glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy golden straw color with a nice 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings to the glass, with a small amount of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of lemon, pear, pepper, grape, herbal, floral, grass, bread, and light earthy spiciness. Very nice aromas with good complexity, balance, and strength. Taste of lemon, bread, pear, grass, bread, pepper, grape, herbal, floral, cracker, and light earthiness. Lingering notes of bread, light fruit, grass, herbal, pepper, and earth on the finish for a bit. Nice balance and complexity of flavor; fairly dry on the finish as expected. No cloying flavors at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a crisp and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed at all after the finish. Overall this is an excellent Dortmunder lager. Nice flavor balance and complexity; very crisp and smooth to drink. Highly enjoyable as expected from this brewery.
