Founders Centennial IPA (355ml)

Hop bitterness, citrus aroma and bready malt flavor. Exquisite balance and solid drinkability.

The brewery's standard IPA.

This is a true "Midwest style IPA" with an excellent balance of bitterness, hop aroma, and malt body.

Beer Judge Certification Program (commonly known as BJCP).

A non-profit organization that spreads knowledge about beer, mead, and cider, as well as how to evaluate and taste them.

It has been recognized by the BJCP (which also holds the BJCP certification exams) as an exemplary example of an American-style IPA and is used as the standard for judging.

Centennial IPA was born in 2001 at a birthday party for a friend that brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki attended.

Jeremy brought a draft of his own brand, Founders IPA, to the party.

However, when he recommended this IPA to a friend, he declined, instead choosing an IPA from a different brewery.

After a very disappointing experience as a brewer, he decided to create Centennial IPA, saying, "I want to make an IPA that my friends will enjoy and be proud of."

When poured into a glass, it has a light amber color with a thick, fluffy white head.

Aromas of grapefruit, orange, pine, floral and a hint of bready malt.

The taste is classic grapefruit peel with a bitter pine tinge that stimulates the palate.

The subtle sweetness of the malt is perfectly balanced with the fruity aroma and bitterness of the hops.

It has a pleasant medium body and a well-balanced taste that makes you feel like you could keep drinking it forever.
