Founders Centennial IPA
This is the first Founders brew I've ever had and I'm looking forward to this. Wow, this is one beautiful IPA! Coppery orange with a fluffy white head.. This is darker than many IPAs I've had. Ok, two for two. Those hops are extremely pungent in the aroma. I feel like I've stuck my head in a barrel of sap covered pine needles. Aroma seems a little stronger than Two Hearted. Sort of a strange taste sensation with this one. An earlier post mentioned a tea aspect and I think that's a good analogy. The hoppy bitterness comes really late on this one. I was expecting a super juicy hop blast that never really came, just the late bitterness. Its not a bad thing but Two Hearted is simply tastier. Overall, I enjoyed the brew but maybe not quite as much as I thought I might. Still, worthy of a good score.
