Chama River Centennial Pale Ale

Tap at brewpub july 2013 Pours bright ligbt orange with a small soapy white head and great lacing!!! Nose has all those flowery centennial notes you would expect like in two hearted with some husky malt maybe rye notes. Flavors show the centennial hop very similar to that aforementioned beer witb lively floral notes and mild bitterness with nice biscuty malt profile. Body is crisp with perfect carbonation. This is a great single hop pale ale that show that this hop is still a contender in the hop overload going on in the micro business!

Tap @ Chama River. Pours a golden appearance with an off white head. Big horsetoith, somewhat floral, citrusy aroma. Carbonation is a bit low. Citrusy, grapefruity, somewhat floral, a little bitter, refreshing flavor. Solid.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Bright deep golden color. Flowery, citrusy and tropical fruity aroma with perfurmed incense. Taste of nutty malts with nice firm bitterness. Some lemon, orange and kumquat also in the flavor but more restrained than in the aroma. Smooth and drinkable. Really nice flowery and tropical fruity pale ale.

GBBF. Cask. Clear gold beer, a few residual bubbles for a head. Smooth semi dry palate. Nice hop medley of grapefruit, grape and bitter tangerine. Finish is also smooth and semi dry.

On tap at GBBF ’11. Aroma - OK, but not the strongest. Flavour is good - nice limey , crystallised hops, but finish is not long. Good, but short.

Cask at GBBF 2011 ... golden amber ... soft sweet fruity peach hop nose .... dry hop ... soft orange ... dull fruits.

Super light and sweet citrussy aroma. Smooth and a bit sweet. Masses of citrus and nectarine, also quite sherbetty. Good balance for a hoppy beer, but maybe too sweet.
