A great representation of a southern hemisphere 2xIPA--think Enjoy By. In fact, if you enjoy (get it?) Enjoy By, you'll at least like this.

A--Good amber color, but a bit too much yellow hue. Overall, nice.

S--Not as exploding as EB, but the hop presence is there. The danky, piny aroma is noticeable and delightful.

T--Like I said, southern hemisphere hops up front, definitely a really good taste, and so very easily drinkable.

M--good mouthfeel--a nice thickness about it and it coats the mouth nicely. The body is far above average on this one.

O--Right up there with EB, and that's a statement (as opposed to a question, I guess). Kidding aside, hopheads will like this, EB fans will love it.

It was a wintry night in January and a buddy and i tried the Market Garden. The Centinnial was one of my favorites. The beer poured a hazy copper with thin white head that laced on the glase. The smell was big on pine and orange citrus. The taste was a decent blend of pine and orange citrus with a good sweet malt balance. The mouthfeel was a full bodied IPA with good carbonation. If it weren't for the high abv...we would be talkin session baby!!!

Pours a clean orange-ish color with an off white head. In the aroma, orange citrus dryness and a small alcohol presence. In the taste, a dryer orange citrus rind, with a note of alcohol. A hop bite and a medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry orange citrus rind in the aftertaste. Nice imperial IPA, but a bit boozy for 8%.

Menu says it's 132 IBU, brewed with Centennial, CTZ, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy hops.

Really enjoyed this beer--a good offering from Market Garden. This was my first visit to the brewpub, and I really had a good time. From other reviews, it seems like some of the beers aren't necessarily up to par, but I definitely liked this one.

Pours a hazy copper-brown with moderate tan head. A little dark for a truly pretty IPA, but it fits the part of a good extra IPA. Nose is really fresh and hoppy--citrus and fresh leafy-zestiness (not sure if that makes sense).

Flavor is very hop-forward, which is what I was looking for, but something about it was a bit off. After homebrewing a little bit, I think it's that quality in a beer when it's a little young--the flavors haven't melded together quite yet--and the overall beer is a bit rocky. I don't think it's a bad thing (especially because that means it is fresh!), just something that I wasn't crazy about.

Feel was pretty standard, nicely carbonated and good heft to the beer without making it difficult to drink. Overall, a fine double IPA here, something that kind of sets this brewery apart from the one around the corner (ok I guess LEM on tap is pretty good...).

Looking forward to getting back to MGB for a few more beers!
