The beer is bright copper and quite clear. Solid enough white head. Good lacing, retention. Lots going on for an all Centennial beer. Surprisingly bright with sweet lemon peel. Pine backbone. Not sure I would have picked it out if not for the description, but it does smell of roses somewhat. Some honey-ish caramel malt in the background. Taste is moderately bitter - maybe medium bitter (awesome description, I know) - and rather dry. A bit blander of a hop flavor. More pine and grapefruit pith but there’s still some nice citrus and floral notes bouncing around. Light with mild hop oiliness. Solid beer and fun to see them make a single hop beer because they liked a particular batch of hops.

The beer is gold and clear. It shines prettily in the light. The small white head fades fairly quickly. The liquid has some heft to it. Not much lacing or anything. The aroma is tangerines and pineapples with a bit of lime peel and pine. Some raspberry, grape and melon. There’s a pretty good dose of simple, honey-ish malt sweetness to the beer, but I’ve had a lot of lower abv hoppy stuff (mostly from Cellarmaker) recently that it might just be a change in my perceptions. It’s still juicy and oozing with hops. The taste is medium sweet with lots of hop flavor and mild to moderate bitterness for the abv. Finishes a bit sweet for me, but I do appreciate all of the citrus and tropical fruit hoppiness. Fairly oily with hops. Fuller than the brewery’s lighter hoppy offerings but still relatively light on the palate for the strength and style. The hoppy aftertaste lingers for some time. Well made and very tasty. It’s an excellent DIPA bursting with big, fruity hops.

Growler split at a tasting. Pours a clear golden color with a slightly off putting aroma. Bitter. Flavor slightly redeeming with some tropical fruit and sweet malty character. A lot of citrus hops on the finish. Flavor alone I van enjoy this IPA. A bit of a thicker body. A lot of fruit. Not a standout IPA for me but overall I enjoyed this.
