A 16oz industry pint at the Oliver location after scraping and pushing my car for way too long after work today.

This beer appears a crystal clear medium golden amber hue, with one finger of foamy, somewhat creamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a decent array of shoreline profile lace around the glass as it evenly melts away.

It smells of mildly acrid citrus rind, bready, grainy malt, and further grassy, floral hops. The taste is bitter, acidic citrus, a bready, crackery graininess, and more leafy floral hops.

The carbonation is well involved, and a tad prickly at times, the body medium-light in weight, and smoother than I might have thought. It finishes off-dry, somehow, as none of the prior indications nor lingering grainy malt or bitter leafy/citrus hop notes lend themselves that way.

A decent lab experiment deployed into the wild - the Centennial single-hopping renders the whole thing a wee bit teetering in the way of balance for an IPA, but does well enough to show what this particular varietal adds to the party.
