Pale Ale Centennial
Cloudwater Brew Co.

A 440ml can with a BB of Oct 2017 (canned July 2017), so it's a little out of date. Acquired from the Brewdog webshop. Described on the label as a low-strength pale ale hopped with Centennial, Loral, Mosaic and Southern Passion.

A: Poured into a tulip. Can-conditioned and very lively. A hazy golden colour with good carbonation and tons of floating sediment. Yields a massive head of fluffy white foam that lasts for a while before slowly reducing to a patchy surface layer. Some lacing.

S: Aroma of light, fruity hops with hints of citrus, mild tropical fruit, white grape, subtle melon, faint leafiness, earthy yeast and pale malt. Rather nice, though the malt is particularly subdued.

T: Tastes of fruity hops with notes of citrus zest, subtle tropical fruit, melon, vague white grape, earthy yeast and very pale malt. Dry, followed by a crisp, understated bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with a somewhat insubstantial body that verges on watery. Slightly astringent. Aftertaste of bright, fruity hops, citrus, earthy yeast and faint malt.

O: Tasty, though perhaps let down a little by weak malt presence. Looks good, while the aroma and flavour are laden with fruity hops and earthy yeast. Body is OK but thin. Could be more robust but goes down readily enough - worth sampling if you have the chance.
