| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Tap@American Ale House State College, PA-> honker. Pours a thin, white, diminishing head atop a clear light amber body. Good carbonation. Very hoppy, sweet aroma. Bitter, hoppy taste, long aftertaste; medium bodied. A very satisfying, ultra-hoppy ale that’s drinkable with a lower abv (of beers in this class). A must-try for all beer conniseurs. ders0 (11), , Minnesota, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 29, 2009 12oz. This is one of the best beers I’ve ever drank without a doubt. Pours a dark gold with a nice head. The aroma of this brew is off the chain and I want to just stick my nose in the bottle after opening it and inhale for hours. The hops are out of control, but not too overpowering. Awesome. bsp77 (202), Minnesota, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Poured from bottle into water glass at work.
Semi-hazy amber orange, with small head retention.
Aroma of grapefruit and pine, with some mild malt undercurrents.
Ah, the centennial hop! Mostly grapefruit bitterness, but the bitterness is not overpowering in any way. Maybe some slight lemon or orange flavors to round out the overall citrus taste. The malts are there and provide backbone, but really are not sweet at all, maybe almost slightly sour.
Medium bodied but fairly light for the style. Medium carbonation, with a bone dry finish.
As far as I am concerned, this is the most drinkable IPA ever brewed. It is neither too bitter as some IPAs are, nor too light so I get bored of the flavor.

| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Appearance is a cloudy, golden dreamboat. White head with good lacing. Smell is sweet and citrusy, full of hops. Taste followed the smell and I could have sworn I tasted Fruity Pebbles in there somewhere. Mouthfeel and body are full, definitely not lacking a backbone here. Very drinkable, a great beer for a day of grilling outside.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Aroma: very floral hoppyness, some malts. Appearance: Clear dark golden color with nice head that leaves a nice lacing when it dissipates a few mins later. Flavor: floral, hoppy, pine, malts. Palate: medium body, average carbonation, bitter.
Overall: this beer is good but not as good as the 60min or Stone IPA in my opinion. It seems like it’s lacking in complexity and finish. it’s mainly relying on it’s awesome aroma to win peoples vote. mallons72 (19), livonia, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2009 Very very floral aroma. Quite a bite on the tongue, but still able to drink quite a few. Favorite part of the beer might be the label. beercamel (84), Chicago, Illinois, USA
