ABV, Volume & Calories: 6% in 22 fl oz. estimated at 300C
Purchased at: Canal’s Lawrenceville, NJ for $5.09
Aroma: nice citrus aroma is inviting and smells of resin. Pine and grapefruit.
Visuals: Fish motif isn’t my favorite, but they make great beer. A red and amber party in a tulip bulb. Brilliant with a long lasting thin white head. Lacing is remarkable and sticky.
Taste: Very well balanced in sweetness and bitterness. Lots of orange and lime notes. A bit sour, and a nice warm finish. Quiet and delicious. A very nice classic IPA.
Palate: Starts very smooth, quickly dries and puckers, a bit sour, with a terricloth finish that is mostly pine and citrus.
Overall: Delicious, affordable, and all the flavors that an IPA lover expects. No surprises, but no disappointments. I’ll have it again.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Thanks to Lagunitasfan for this bomber. Pours clear oragish copper with white head that has nice lacing. Aroma is hops, citrus, pine, caramel malts and some sugar. Flavor is malty with hops, citrus, and pine. Palate is medium. Finishes sweet and syrupy which is not a good thing. Enjoyable IPA but not a favorite. Beaver (600), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 21, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear orange amber with a medium white head that quickly diminishes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet candy sugar, melons and pine.
The flavor is biscuity malts and sweet melon with piney peppery hops that have a decent amount of bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some sharp carbonation.
Overall, a fine IPA. I got excited by the all Centennial, but this wasn’t nearly as good as Two-Hearted. It is still solid. watson1977 (282), , Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Bottle. Aroma is semi-sweet, pine, citrus. Clear orange-amber body, thin off-white head that leaves distinct lacing. Flavor is bittersweet tangerine and grapefruit, with a powerful bitter finish. Pleasant, but a touch overrated.
