Centennial Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Centennial hops are a classic American hop variety often referred to as “super Cascade” because of their strong citrus character and balanced bitterness. Developed in the United States and widely grown in Washington’s Yakima Valley, Centennial delivers bold citrus flavors with layered floral and pine complexity.

Brewers frequently describe Centennial as producing notes of lemon, orange citrus, floral spice, and subtle woody or pine undertones. This bright flavor profile makes Centennial a versatile hop for both bittering and aroma additions.

Centennial performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its citrus and floral aromatics can fully develop.

Centennial hops are widely used across American craft beer styles thanks to their bold citrus aroma and balanced bitterness.

Ideal for:

• American IPA
• American Pale Ale
• Blonde Ale
• American Amber Ale

Centennial pairs well with other American hop varieties such as Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe to create layered citrus-forward hop profiles in modern IPAs and pale ales.

• Add early in the boil to contribute clean bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance citrus and floral hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize hop aroma
• Dry hop during fermentation to create bright citrus aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Centennial combines well with hops like Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe to build classic citrus and pine hop character in American IPA and pale ale recipes.
