nolankowal (850), Columbus, Ohio, USA Nov 20, 2007 Draft @ Brewpub. Orange-red pour with a white head. Aroma of grapefruit and other citrus and light sweet malt. Flavors of citrus, light pine and grass hops and subtle sweet malt. Medium body, bitter/bright/sweet with a bitter finish. A damn fine APA. BückDich (4823), McCall, Idaho, USA Oct 4, 2007 Draft @ Brewpub: Copper color, light head and lacing. Nose of earthy fresh grassy hops, wet leaf, citronella and vanilla, pale malt. The flavor is nutty and thick with a cottony mouthfeel, super dry and sweet with some hops. Thick and chewy, but not too thick to prevent enjoying. Nice. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Name: Super Centennial Pale Ale

bu11zeye (5433), Frisco, Texas, USA Aug 2, 2007 (Draft) Pours a clear amber body with a small white head. Aroma of mild citrus and caramel. Flavor of citrusy hops and caramel malt. BDR (2153), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Jul 16, 2007 On tap at the pub for RBSG. Loved the hop nose on this one (much more than I did the 1800 ipa. Brown color with white head. Well balanced hop and malt in the body. jsquire (2091), St. Marys, Ohio, USA Jul 16, 2007 Out of a sampler at the pub at 07 RBSG. Light amber color with a thin off white head that left attractive lacing in the glass. Nice fresh hop nose. Caramel sweetness with grapefruit, peach and apricot flavors. Sharp, crisp hop finish. Nice beer. Dickinsonbeer (3447), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Jul 16, 2007 RBSG. Pours a hazy deep copper with modest carbonation and a fluffy white head. Aroma is fresh clean centennial, lightly grassy, but mostly citrus, hints of pine and sappy. Good hoppy mouthfell with a good harsh bitterness, clean with mroe pine and citrus notes- ok malt backbone but this one was loaded with hops. Nice IPA/APA. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jul 8, 2007 Draught pint at the brewpub, RBSG Minneapolis pub crawl, June 22 2007. Clear light copper pour, bit of lasting head, touch of lacing....hoppy citric/piny aroma, hits all the right notes but never quite excites; pungent without being nose-altering....really juicy, but solidly bitter body, bracing and fairly harsh, enough pale and lightly caramelized malts show up to keep you going to the moderately dry, very bitter finish....guess I’m not as blown away as most were, but this was certainly a nice pint that I’d be happy to have again.
