Description: Pliny the Elder is brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe
hops. It is well-balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol, slightly bitter
with a fresh hop aroma of floral, citrus, and pine. Best enjoyed FRESH!
My take: Absolutely THE best IPA I ever had. Pour in a beautiful golden yellow color with a thick head of foam. You can smell the bright and fresh pine and the floral notes as you draw the glass in. First taste, hoppy beer but balanced perfectly with citrus sweetness which makes this such a drinkable IPA since the hop bitterness never overpowers the IPA while maintaining the hop and pine flavor throughout. It's just so smooth for an IPA with all the elements melting beautifully to enhance all the flavors in your taste buds.
