Commercial Description:
Selected as a benchmark for the Beer Judge Certification Program used in all American based beer judgings. Centennial IPA has quickly become the IPA of choice. Pour yourself a pint of this complex flavorful ale and bask in the frothy head’s floral bouquet. Relish the immense citrus accents, achieved by the abundance of dry hopping. This ale’s sweet, malty undertones balance the hop character with a finish that never turns too bitter.

Quaint, but pleasing aroma. Slightly cloudy appearence, with nice deep amber color. Flavor also a bit thin but utterly satisfying. One for the masses to enjoy.

Solid IPA, but I expected more. The aroma wasnt as strong as other IPAs that ive had, nor was the complexity of the taste. Very solid though.

Bottle from Stockertown Beverage, PA. Aroma strikes a chord with me as the grapefruit jumps out over some pine needles and some lemon fruits. On sip the dryness has a nice centennial hoppy bite along with some biscuit and a small layer of maltiness underneath. Even though the aroma rocks and the beer has a nice creamy texture, it doesn’t seem overly complex in regards to the flavor. But it makes for a solid enjoyable and highly drinkable brew.

Bottle. A very cloudy amber with thin white head. Aroma is nice of citrus hops. I thought the flavor was a little disappointing though. The hop flavor does not come out very much and just kind of leaves me wanting.

I’m sippin on one right now, and it’s almost perfect. Very hoppy, and flavorful. Not quite as good as two hearted, but very close.

12 oz bottle thanks to fordest for providing me with yet another beer so I don’t drink anything he hasnt had. Flavors of malts and mild hopps. Good balance of both made this a pretty good IPA.

Bottle drank in line @ DLD. Very floral, strong scent, good lasting head, dark orange, very enjoyable, did not notice the alcohol. Nice finish. Needed more of a kick for me, but overall a very good ipa representation.

Lovin’ the centennial hops in this one. Great floral flavor and a truly remarkable IPA. Definetly one of the top five IPA’s that I ve tasted.
