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.

Liquid bread. What more can I say? Everything I look for in an IPA, the cloudy orange color, floral aroma, big but not overpowering hop flavor and a finish that leaves me licking my chops! I’m making nmyself thirsty.

Cloudy orange-amber with decent, creamy tan head / Medium body with lush hops and finish / Bright citrus nose / Flavors of orange, grapefruit, peaches, and pine / A near perfect ipa.

Pours a golden coppery color with a fading creamy white head. Smells of intense pine needles, hops, and citrus. Taste is very hoppy, grapefruity and piney. Has a nice bite to it. Excellent IPA, in the mode of stone ipa and bells two hearted ale.

Perfect balance of sweet carmel, hops and mouth feel. The quick bite of aromatic hops is followed by a rich mellow aftertaste of carmel heaven. Each sip is as great as the last.

Much less hoppy than most other other IPA’s I’ve drank. Had it fresh at the tap room and later in a bottle, both were equal in experience. Aroma is flowery and inviting. Goes down and sits with the perfect body and the taste is one of a kind. I will be drinking this beer more often than others for years to come.
