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.

Pours an amber orange with a thin white head. Great floral hop aroma with a touch of orange citrus. Taste is bitter grapefruit hops up front, some sweet maltiness to follow, and then the hops come back in the finish.

Tap at Dirty Truth in N- Hampton . Copper hue with white head . Smells of lean hops. Flavor of moderate bitter hops with a malty backdrop. Finish is well balanced. Solid brew and easy to drink.

Bottle. Dark amber, creamy off-white head. Really hoppy aroma andt with a clean mouthfeel. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle@Home. Light fruity and very grassy aroma. Light amber colour, off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, very bitter, light fruity, very grassy, loads of hops. Sticky, dry finish, alcoholic. Too grassy and hoppy in my opinion. This makes the beer tough to enjoy.

Bottled 355ml. Great hop profile of Centennial. Hop resin and grapefruit showing up in both nose and taste. Good bitterness. Wonderful long dry bitter finish which makes you eager to drink more. A really good IPA.

Overall, an above average IPA, but to me this one wasn’t quite hoppy enough. Pours out golden and the aroma is of citrus and hops. Flavor is same as the aroma, but as I already said, I felt like it was a bit lacking.

Semi-cloudy classic IPA color with a frothy, bubbly off-white head. Aroma of fresh hops... Wait, I need to slow down. Again, FRESH HOPS. Awesome. Wow, I’m so impressed. Not very bitter, very fresh and pleasant. Light bodied, light finish with that same fresh dry hop flavor.

Bottled. Amber beer with white head--thin. Aroma is pleasant sweet hop--a little grassy. Flavor is caramel and hops of citrus...very dry end.
