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.

Clear, deep, rich gold. Small orange head. Nose of citrus and pine, typical PNW hopping nose. Taste of sweet amber malts, orange and pine, plenty of bitterness but good balance, bitter and slightly caramel sweet finish. Slightly cream in the mouth. Good IPA, one of my favorite styles.

Pours deep copper with a thich, frothy head. Aroma of toffee, citrus, and hops. Nice malt backbone with a long bitter finish. I extpected the tatse to be slightly bigger. Very good IPA.

12 oz bottle. Golden orange with a big off-white head. Great citrusy hop aroma. Good malt flavor to balance all the citrus hop bitterness. A nice lingering bitter finish. Great IPA.

Medium dark golden/orange pour with strong aroma of citrus and hops. Palate is real smooth with a creamy hoppy character. Alcohol is hidden real well. Has a bit of a citrusy aftertaste with hints of orange. Pretty good IPA. Might buy again.

(bottle) Pours out dark amber with a white head. Aroma is fairly strong with as OSLO mentioned, strawberry jam, light mandarin orange, pepper, and some caramel malt. Taste is quite sweet with caramel and a hoppy citrus peel bitter finish. The mouthfeel was medium, not too bad.

[Bottle] Pours amber-red with a slightly off-white head. Aroma is alright, strawberry jam, floral hops, light maltiness. Taste is largely malty up front, then a good deal of grapefruit-rind bitterness. Medium mouthfeel, decent finish. A good beer, but not the best IPA I’ve had.

Decent standard IPA. This is a lot like Hazed and Infused except with more hops. The dry finish is the same which is ok. Slight bitterness, but easy to drink and overall a crisp finish. The aroma doesn’t really have much going on with it. This beer is a basic middle of the road IPA.
