Centennial IPA from Founders Brewing Company is an American IPA built on balance. At 7.2% ABV, it pairs a solid malt backbone with a refined hop profile. The brewery adds hops earlier in fermentation, creating a complex aromatic character with citrus, pine and floral notes. The result is a beer that resists excessive bitterness, allowing malt and hop character to work in harmony.

The palate reveals fruity and floral accents, followed by a crisp, dry finish. This is not an aggressive IPA, but rather a measured take on the American style.
