This afternoon's beer was my favorite--Pliny the Elder!
I had a bottle dated 5.4.2011, and shared it with Julie before we go to a fancy dinner tonight (at Providence, review forthcoming).
As usual, Pliny was outstanding. The head was light (since I poured it into two glasses) and the beer was a nice golden color. The first taste was excellent-- (Julie: "This is what beer should taste like!"), with a good deal of citrus, especially grapefruit. The magic of PtE is it's ability to be 8% ABV and you would never know.
Anyway, I still have a bottle left in the fridge, and it's taking everything I have not to open it right now. Truly this is an outstanding dIPA.
Grade: A++
