Double IPA·United States·9.2% ABV·One of 379 Double IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Imperial Centennial IPA's citrusy and piney character. Imperial Centennial IPA joined the range in 2026 as a stronger take on Centennial IPA, brewed to 9.2 percent with the same single hop and the same grist of Golden Promise, Munich and crystal malts. The aroma is denser: grapefruit, orange and pine lead, with a note of bubblegum behind them. Smooth caramel malt carries the body, bitterness is moderate, and the finish is lightly sweet and noticeably warming.
