Got this from the store, but thought I gotten centennial IPA from founders.

Nevertheless, It poured a light hazy orange with a very small head. Some here say it laced, I seen very little. The smell was less than in your face (I was expecting an IPA) but was decent for the style. Citrus is in the front along with some hops. Taste was a little sweet with some grapefruit, decent enough.

I could drink a few of them.

Oh! and on a side note.. The labels were falling off much like the one in the picture here ;0)

Sample from bottle, at Vectura-messe, Deep golden colour. Fruity and piney American hops in aroma and flavour. Bitter aftertaste, nearly an IPA. Okay.

Nitro version - obviously looks spectacular with a warm caramel body and ultra dense creamy white froth. Nose suffers from the nitro - faint citric perfume sums it up. Evenly balanced between caramel malt and citric/floral hops. Soft and subtle from the nitro with a clean finish. I would like to see this around in the non-nitro version, though this is fun as the occasional change-up.
