Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder is widely recognized as a benchmark American Double IPA, presenting a clear, pale gold appearance with persistent white foam. The aroma is intensely complex, dominated by bright citrus, pine resin, and floral hop notes derived from multiple hop additions. On the palate, a substantial hop bitterness is balanced by a subtle malt backbone, leading to flavors of grapefruit zest and earthy spice. This classic DIPA maintains a medium body and a dry finish, showcasing the depth and complexity achievable in the style.
