Mikkeller, Imperial IPA Centennial

Another smashing DIPA (imperial) from Mikkeller, every bit as good as their Nelson. Super strong fragrance, low carb, robust mouthfeel. Orange, grapefruit and pine. Long, very bitter finish. These are possibly the best DIPAs around.

The Kernel Brewery, IPA: Centennial, Topaz, Stella

I think the Kernel made this brew at the end of last year and it's their current IPA. Slightly more amber then Moor's Empire Strikes Back, but still very pale in colour. Typically huge fruity nose although not much of a lingering bitterness. Not too much carbonation, but of course it's extremely hoppy - the bitterness it does produce is the kind that gets the roof of your mouth. I hope I'm not building a tolerance or something to the Kernel IPAs, but this didn't seem to impress quite like previous ones. Nonetheless, this is still a very beautiful and immensely satisfying drink.
