Centennial hops are a popular variety of hop used in brewing, known for their balanced aroma and flavor profile. They were developed in the 1990s and are often referred to as a "super Cascade" due to their similarities to Cascade hops, but with a more intense citrus and floral character. These hops are commonly used in a variety of beer styles, particularly IPAs and pale ales. Centennial hops contribute bitterness as well as a pleasant aroma, making them a favorite among brewers looking to enhance the overall taste of their beers.
