COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, "lupus Salictarius", meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, humulus Lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle’s legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder, the beer, is brewed with 40% more malt and over twice the amount of hops as compared to our already hoppy IPA.

coasternut (1540) - VANCOUVER, Washington, USA - JUL 27, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 27, 2023 this beer pours a clear golden color with a small white head that dissipates quickly. This is one good beer. Nicely balanced malt and hop flavor. Sweet malt and bitter hop, but not overly so. Taste is citrus, more towards lemon and tangerine. One good IIPA.

Dette er moderen til alle dobbelt IPA. Ikke mindre end en fremragende øl. 40% mere malt og dobbelt mængde humle i forhold til alm IPA. Grape og tropisk duft i næsen, samt hyldeblomst Fra Simcoe. Især i den friske øl er den tydelig. Fyldig med 8% alkohol. Gylden i farven. Vores egen hop hammer kommer meget tæt på. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2022 From Amy. Golden, towards yellow with a green tint. Strong aroma of citrus and fruit. Sweet, malt with grapefruit bitterness in the lingering bitterness.

4.4
nathanvc (5744) - Gent, BELGIUM - DEC 23, 2022
UPDATED: DEC 23, 2022 9 November 2022. Bottle from San Diego Wine Co. Bottled: 28/09/2022. Rating 5,000. Clear golden, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of unripe apple, grapefruit peel, mandarin, cheese, pine resin, forest leaves, green olive, flower blossom, biscuit, tea. Taste has sweetish apple, melon & mango; all in all restrained and making way for a bitter core of pine, citrus peel & herbs kept together by a dry-biscuity malt body, with a faint hint of sourish citrus. Bitter, dry, resinous & slightly peppery hoppy finish that is quite dank & cheesy, but also herbal and grapefruity. Faint hint of warming gin-like alcohol in the very end. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Evidently the expectations are enormous for a beer of this renown, and they've been well met. An overwhelming sensation, though, is held back by its almost 'disciplined' structure.
