Very good so far, bottled one week ago and already has nice carbonation and retention. Slightly sweet and crisp with small touch of citrus from the Centennial and spice from the Sterling. Good beer for those who love craft beer and macros alike.
 
Here she is in all her glory. Great summer session beer with great malt and hop balance and taste. Has been a hit with everyone that drinks it. I'm sure it will go very quickly this week.
