Another beer from March Madness 2018 courtesy of leftpaw. This is the all Centennial hopped one. 1st review of this beer on BA.
Pours a cloudy golden yellow with 1/3" white head. Fairly common notes for Centennial here, pine, popsicle stick wood, grapefruit.
Taste, I dunno what the commercial tug job was smokin', but this is not a juicy ipa (and its prolly better bc of it). Has an above average amount of bitterness, but its a friendly C hop bitterness, plenty familiar and doable. The malt body is minimal and neutral. I do think in this day and age its somewhat difficult to make a single hop Centennial beer that can hang with newer recipes. Sure, you have your all time classic Two Hearted, but if that were to come out today, the love would be below.
I also think an all Centennial beer is better as a single ipa, here the binding of the bitterness and alcohol at this level makes each a bit more pronounced. I'd guess 8% and 80 ibu.
