Founders Brewing Company Centennial IPA
Aroma: “Hops aroma is unique with citrus, resin, and pine along with subtle floral notes. Floral, perfume-like notes present. Slight sweetness from the malt.”
Flavor: “Nice, complex hops flavor with resiny, piney notes and some grapefruit rind and citrus. Great bitterness. Clean and dry finish with little-to-no malt profile.”
Overall: “Very drinkable hops-balanced IPA with dominant floral notes. Hops complexity and diversity are nice, and bitterness is well-executed to accentuate hops. Lacks a bit of uniqueness and is a bit safe, but overall it’s very tasty.”
