Pours a near-crystal-clear copper-gold body capped with two fingers of fluffy, off-white foam; decent head retention yields a craggy half-finger of cap, thin, frothy collar, and a conservative spatter of chunky, webby lacing holding tentatively to the walls of the glass.

Aromas of resounding funk are immediately apparent, with soft oak easing to dehydrated pine needles and a mineralic rust; grapefruit must peeks through clean lacto-funk for a pink lemonade culmination.

Taste offers pink grapefruit and sugared lemon into a bright lacto-funk with vague pastoral/barnyard accents extending across the profile; grassy compost underscores shades of white wine as fresh Centennial peaks over the mid-palate steady to musty lime zest glistening over the back end to a clean minerality on the finish.

Mouthfeel brings a light body and choppy, full fluffs of carbonation; a brisk tartness eases to prolonged acidity extended over the mid-palate, leaving wet textures into a zesty, prickle on the back end and bright acidity through the finish.

Centennial layers a musty pine/grapefruit to bright funk and deftly vigorous tartness, a supremely clean, delicately oaked base from which the earthier citrus of the hops can shine through; a warm-weather quencher with effective variability between funk and must.
