Admittedly not my favorite style. Smoother than you’d expect from such a hoppy beer.

Pours a slightly cloudy yellow, lighter in color than many other doubles. Nice white head with lasting and lacing. Citrus aroma, not overwhelming. Well balanced hop and slight malt taste that impresses but doesn’t linger. Makes you want more.

Well balanced with good citrus and floral notes. Very smooth for an 8% beer. Easy to drink, and a definite gateway beer for those new to DIPAs

Pliny the Elder ou Pline l’ancien fut embouteillé le 10 avril 2013. Tout a été dit et redit de cette bière, inutile de faire la description de la dégustation point par point. Cette bière est ma 2500ème que je ferai un commentaire sur le site et elle est tout simplement sublime. Je pourrais dire qu’elle est facile à boire pour l’alcool qu’elle contient, je pourrais aussi dire comment je suis reconnaissant que slovaksniper a partagé cette bouteille avec moi. Je pourrais parler de la pluie et du beau temps…mais je vais seulement dire que cette bière n’est aucunement surévaluée, elle est tout simplement superbe.

4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20 want1DIPA (8) - - MAY 11, 2013 does not count
Aroma-Not to overwhelming like most DIPA's. the traditional pine scent comes out very clean
Appearance-Not a bright bold orange, but still a crisp orange brown reflection. Very pleasing to the eye.
Taste-Simple mouthwatering perfection. If I could put this in a CamelBak and drink a liter a day, I would. What sets PTE apart is how smooth but subtlety intense it is. It's a toss up b/w PTE and Hopslam as the best readily available/bottled DIPA on the planet. With that said, I have Headytopper and Dreadnaught coming in this week.
Palate-Like liquid velvet pine scented grapefruit. The 8% isn't even noticeable. My palate told me afterwards that he almost died from euphoria!
Overall-it's PTE and about as perfect a beer can get! With that said, it's not my #1, but it's darn close.
