Centennial Hops are a popular hop variety used primarily in brewing beer. Developed in the 1990s, they are known for their balanced aroma and flavor profile, which includes citrus and floral notes. This makes them a favorite among craft brewers for both pale ales and IPAs. These hops are often referred to as a "super Cascade" due to their similar characteristics but with higher alpha acid content. This allows for a more pronounced bitterness in beer, enhancing the overall taste experience. Centennial Hops are typically harvested in late summer and are valued for their versatility in various beer styles.
