Founders Centennial IPA

A hazy amber beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet and lovely hoppy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, combined with a lovely hoppy character, leading to a dry end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of GoBlue - thank you Bill. Fresh, citrusy - but also somewhat soapy - aroma. Medium body with light caramel but otherwise completely dominated by very fresh and fruity aroma hops. Medium bitterness in the finish. 011206
