I poured this into a glass, it has a dark amber color body with a small white head that hangs out for a minute. The aroma has a nice malt and flora aroma to it. The taste has a very nice sweet malt flavor, which follows by citrus flora hop. The mouthfeel is really good and overall a really good drinking ipa.

Founders Brewing Company - Founders Centennial IPA - 12fl oz bottle

Look - Dark slightly hazy amber to red with a good soapy head that leaves a good amount of sticky lacing behind. Moderate carbonation. Beer simply can't look much better than this brew.

Smell - Rich deep caramel malts with a smooth and resiny hop overlay. Warm and inviting, fully bodied.

Taste - Rich smooth pine/resin hop flavor with a nice dry bitter resin finish. Dry hopping adds a great twist to the finish here.

Mouthfeel - Slightly sticky and malty goodness coats the mouth. Dry slightly bitter hop resin along the palate. Quite drinkable and not boozy at all.

Overall - Excellent brew! Full flavored, rich, hearty, with big malts and big dry hops. This is the way it's done!

I was quite surprised to see this six pack in the beer aisle at HEB in Round Rock...scooped up a sixer with a grin on my face.

Nice copper color, good clarity, a head that fades quickly but leaves some decent streaks of lace. Smell is of uber fresh flora and ctirusl hops with a light note of sweet/spicey malt.

Taste follows scent...really good combo of hops and malt here...the aftertaste is quite different than a typical hoppy IPA...really enjoying collaboration of flavors in this...citrus, grassy hops, sweet caramel, and spices. Goes down like butta and I'm finding it quite difficult not to chug....always a good sign.

I gotta say, this is a kick butt IPA. So glad to have it in Texas.

Have seen it on the shelf for months, and never tried. My best bud picked up a sixer for dinner tonight and we were both pleasantly surprised!

A - For being unfiltered, this was quite a clear beer. Poured a nice amber copper color, a deepness to it was beautiful. White, foamy finger of head. Good carbonation.

S - Smelled of sweet malts and hops. Grassy and earth tones abundant. This was a very earthy, fresh, grassy smelling IPA, just what I like.

T - Starts out with a mildly sweet malt, quickly punched out by the hops. The Centennial hops are beautifully balanced with the ever so distant citrus kick at the end.

M - Medium bodied, great drinkability. This beer went down smooth, and was never overwhelming.

O - Another good brew by Founders, this one is easily found, and makes a great go-to brew, perfect for hot summer days!
