Bottle shared by Ben, thanks! Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earthy resinous pine with a bit of grapefruit and a bread backbone. Flavor is similar with the earthy resinous pine with a bit of a citrus bite and an earthy bread backbone.

Hazy amber beer, big cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has good fine carbonation. Light and sweetish malts, touch of cream. Parma violets! Candy fruits and a trace of lime peel. Mellow hop skunk. Little sherbet. Marmalade and a touch of mint. Light finish. Tasty IPA but not flavours I would normally associate with Centennial, this is more like a White or Belgian IPA.

Light haze on this amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, slightly soft and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light and thin malts, slightly sweet. Light citric hop, some red berries and modest marmalade. Touch of pine on the light and slightly bitterish finish. Nice.

Capped 750 from Wine & Cheese. Pours red with a slight head that might be pinkish. Aroma of earthy, sourish cherry. Rather mouth wrenching sour cherry. Cooking cherry. Really quite nice.

Bottle from Bev Mo. Murky gold. Large, foamy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Hop aroma of citrus and spice. Some grassy notes as well. Flavor along the same lines. Malt backbone fairly thin, as can be common in this "style"of IPA. Drinks soft, clean, and dry.

Draft at Tied House. Clear gold, white head and lace. Nice pine, grapefruit hop aroma and flavor. Solid sweetness. Well made. Lighter bodied. Good stuff.

355ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma with a touch of glue, zesty hints of tangerine and grapefruita sugary touch. Taste is bitter and slightly citrusy hoppy, chalky and mineral notes, some lemon, pale malty background with an almond touch, some cardboard; alcoholic finish. Not much hop flavour, quite papery overall. Not worth the transatlantic crossing.
