Pliny the Elder!

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++
