Russian River Brewing Company Pliny the Elder
American Double IPA
8.00% ABV

Greg score: 95/100

Greg says: Man, what a huge score this was. I got this from a guy in Cali. This is a very hard to come by beer, so I was happy to have this guy include it in a package. I didn't know it was coming, so I was overjoyed when I opened it and saw it sitting there. This is easily one of the best DIPA's I have ever had. This pours a golden cloudy color. Good lacing. The aroma is intense lemon, tropical fruit, and pine. All of these things are noticed in the taste along with some strong hops. There is some malt at the end, but the pine and citrus really stick around for most of the taste. If you are a hop-head and are lucky enough to have access to this, GET IT! Period. You will thank me later.
