Founders Centennial IPA

Founders Centennial IPA

Selected as a benchmark for the Beer Judge Certification Program used in all American based beer judgings. Centennial IPA has quickly become the IPA of choice. Pour yourself a pint of this complex flavorful ale and bask in the frothy head’s floral bouquet. Relish the immense citrus accents, achieved by the abundance of dry hopping. This ale’s sweet, malty undertones balance the hop character with a finish that never turns too bitter.

4.0 Klassisk. Mkt bra. Ngt besk. (Lite förkyld)
5.0 0,355 l bottle from Systembolaget, Lund. Very good example of classic IPA, enjoyed
3.6 Canned 3/2021, so maybe a tad too old. Pours orangey amber with light beige head.grapefruit and a bit piney on the nose. Medium creamy mouthfeel with hopbitterness, malts, piney, a little citrus, dry finish. Rather good, will try again in summer with a fresher a tad more cold can. That will raise my score I presume.
3.7 หวาน เลี่ยน บอดี้นุ่มฟองหนาอยู่นาน
4.1 can@Bier&Borrels, Prinsenbeek Pours amber with persistent off-white top, leaves good amount of lasing. Aroma of citrus, caramel-berries and good background of resin notes. Quite sweet aroma. Taste is medium+ sweet with well-done balancing out it with good, last longing bitternes. Although it seems as to much of body, the drinkability is not lost at all. Medium+ mouthfeel with light to medium dry finish. Very good.
4.1 Ambrata leggermente velata, versa schiuma abbondante e persistente. Aroma di agrumi, erbe e sentori di malto. In bocca marcati sentori erbacei, seguono note agrumate e resinose. Retrogusto amarognolo molto gradevole. Piuttosto complessa e ben bilanciata.
3.9 Canned 08/06/2021 Yeahhh finally I bought this beer for tasting, and yes I like it so much. That’s one of notable for IPA, smooth and easy for drinking so much, not bitter (but I like bitter) but more piney and some of citrus, also sweet from malt. It’s very enjoyable when you drinking and worth all pennies for this one. Wow, so notably.
3.8 Can from Albert Heijn. Hazy amber, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of pine resin & needle, grapefruit peel, pink grapefruit, biscuit, mango, pomegrenate, grape. Taste has sweetish mango, grape & blood orange over biscuity, slightly caramelly maltiness; quite bitter in the middle with notes of grapefruit, pine & herbs. Dry, bitter, piney & resinous hoppy finish, lingering grapefruit peel & (blood) orange. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very satisfying old-school IPA.
3.3 355 ml can, brewed in March 2021. Cloudy amber, big foamy head. Mostly caramel and resin, maple syrup, grapefruit zest. Malty sweetness, hoppy bitterness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, hoppy bitter malty sweet finish. Not bad, seems to be a bit off.
3.7 568 ml can. Amber colour, medium sized head with good durability, fair lacing, soft carbonation. Nose is fruity, mango, peaches, and sweetish malt. Flavour is medium sweet and bitter, well balanced, cereals, herbal and fruity hop. Increasing, long lasting bitterness in the finish. Pretty good one!
3.8 Pours a clear golden amber with an off white head. Sticky sweet lightly malty aroma. Medium body with an oily texture. Hoppy with a malty backbone. Very little bitterness. Finishes with a lingering caramel malt aftertaste. Very enjoyable.
1.6 Purtroppo la lattina che ho comprato era stata prodotta oltre due anni prima dell’assaggio! Non era riportata alcuna data di scadenza… grave mancanza da parte del beershop. La birra aveva un bel colore rossiccio, ma era davvero troppo torbida. Al naso si sentiva una forte ossidazione, con note eccessive di miele. In bocca è rimasto poco dell’originale carattere dei malati caramello e dei sentori luppolati. Spero di poterne bere una più fresca, in modo da darle il voto che merita.
3.8 Bevuta in bottiglia. Colore ambrato e ottimi aromi. Un po' troppo amaro finale. Come IPA però è molto buona.
3.3 7.2% с горчив вкус, средна хубост
3.5 thuis blik een amber kleurig lichaam met een witte kop en met een bloemig fruitig citrus hop aroma een fruitig gist citrus zoet hop droge bitter smaak met een bitter einde
4.0 Founders Centennial IPA 7.2%. Dark amber, pine and resin aroma, full bodied, barley malt, stewed citrus fruit, grapefruit, orange, complex flavours, burnt marmalade finish. Gorgeous West Coast IPA from Grand Rapids, Michigan 🇺🇸
4.1 Dark Amber pour. Thick foam and even lace. Malt and barley with some sweetness. A nice balance. With bitter hops on the palate and bitter finish.... a little weed taste on the palate
4.0 Tin 33cl. Orange brown with a medium off white head that fades slowly. Little carbonation. Aroma of dry hops as expected with hints of grapefruit and orange peels. The taste is bitter with a fruit touches. The bitterness is joined with a glow of alcohol in the aftertaste.
3.8 33cl can from Albert Heijn, pours dark copper colored. Hop aroma mostly pine, resin, slightly metallic. Good malt undertone, subdued. Overall good bitterness, balanced mouthfeel and good carbonation. Finish is long with a dry bitterness. Not too exotic in the hops. A good IPA
3.9 Can 0,355 ltr: Clear amber coloured brew with an dry bitter taste with hints of citrus, caramel en perzik.
3.9 Plechovka z americanbeers. Pomerne silna chmelova mierne karamelova vona. Cista jantarova farba. Chut vyrazna horka drsna ovocna. Dlho ostava.
3.4 Alone at home. Hazy amber colored beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Full sparkling palate. Finish is bitter fruited dry.
3.9 355ml bottle from local pub in Italy. Bottled on 01.07.20 drinking it 07/05/2021 Pours dark amber with nice brownish beige foam on top. Aroma is very nice of malt, floral and piney hops, citrus, toffee, caramel. Taste is sweet, rich and hoppy with hints of resin and piney hops, caramel, citrus grapefruit and hoppy bitter notes.. finish is nice but kind of light and dry, hoppy but never too bitter.. awesome drinkability and nice caramel/toffee sweetness. Really pleasant and easy to drink. Medium body and a bit oily mouthfeel, nice carbonation. Great IPA very well done and rich tasting.
3.9 Uklar amber med offwhite skum som varer. Aroma humle malt blomster sitrus. Smak malt humle karamell fersken grapefrukt blomst. Fin fylde, bitter, lett sødme i ettersmak, saftig. Godt øl. Flaske kjøpt på Vinmonopolet Jekta
3.9 Muy buenos aromas, lúpulo y cítricos por encima de todo, bastante intensos. Color amarillo bastante oscuro, ámbar, con opacidad media-alta, pero sin una densidad excesiva como las NEIPA, por ejemplo. Sabor profundamente amargo, con gran cantidad de lúpulo presente y matices cítricos, herbáceos y florales también. Bien equilibrados y con poco gas para ser una IPA industrial. Recomendable, buena opción para probar algo curioso.
3.7 Can at home, darker amber coloured beer, small head. Aroma is malt, resin, hops, caramel, citrus. Taste is the same, refreshing piney, resiney, hop flavours. very good.
3.8 355ml Blik van AH. Helder amber kleur, gebroken-witte kraag. Heerlijk old-skool, hars, caramel, grapefruit, citrus, iets bloemig, wat moutig, hint van dennen, bittere finish. Medium body. Meer van dit aub.
3.0 Dark amber pour with creamy beige head. Aroma is loaded with pine and floral hops. Flavor is hop heavy. Not much malt detected. Strong. ABV creates a numbing effect on the pallet. About average for this style. Can.
