Centennial Hops
Centennial hops are sometimes referred to as a super Cascade for its similar citric characteristic. A great dual-purpose hop that can be used for bittering, aroma and dry-hopping. Centennial is a versatile hop with its bitterness and forward aroma. These are two characteristics that balance each other very well.
