Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Amber colour, bubbly white foam head and aroma of floral notes, earthy, woody hop. Taste is sweetish malt caramel with spicy orangey citrus, floral, pine, hop, tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying bitter finish. Quite OK.

24/6/2020. Can from Beers of Europe. Pours clear pale gold with a large bubbly white head. Aroma is citrus, flowers, pine, with an earthy dank edge and notes of damp dog. Medium sweetness and light bitterness which increased to finish. Moderate body and average to soft carbonation. Liked it but couldn’t shake the damp dog notes off it.

Can. Orangey golden coloured beer with a strong smooth white head. The aroma is yeasty with some hops, and the flavour is fairly well hopped with quite heavy bitterness and yeastiness at the finish. Overall a nice pale ale.

Can at Goblet. Golden body, white head. Pure Centennial aroma, flowery-citric, full blown, smooth, excellent. Flowery, earthy hoppiness ending on a citrusy note. Dry and a bit too lean, quite a tasty single hop pale!

Unclear, orange-golden colored, small+ white head, OK lasting. Aroma is of light pale malt, plenty of citrus hops and grassiness. Taste is medium sweet malt, moderate hoppy citrus, grapefruit grassy, medium+ bitterness and too harsh notes, dry finish. Medium bodied, soft+ carbonation, oily.

0.33 l can from the brewery. Shared with little Dina. Cloudy golden, small off-white head. Lightly to moderately hoppy, floral, rose petals, soft herbs, light citrus, some green hops. Syrupy floral and herbal flavour, bitter. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate finish. Slightly harsh and off-balance. A nice Centennial showcase, coming out wonderfully in aroma, also shows a potent bitter character. Too bitter for some.
