IPA isn't my favorite kind of beer, but this is a delicious IPA! Wonderfully floral smell. Strong but well balanced citrus flavor. Maybe a pinch overhyped, but still a first choice beer.

December 2014, picked up 2 cases at Russian river, yum.

I've had some of the best beers in the world and I have to say Russian River Brewery's Pliny the Elder is my personal favorite. What else do you want in a beer? Perfect color, nose, carbonation, body, hop flavor and finish. There is a reason why I live in Santa Rosa. Cheers.

Not nearly as memorable as Heady Topper, but still a top tier IPA that's worth seeking out to check off your bucket list.

A solid IPA but not the mythological prototype of the style everyone claims it to be. I actually prefer a stronger hop character like that of the 90 minute from dogfish head or the more citrusy notes of day Sculpin from Ballast Point. This beer is good- like 3.5-4 star good- but not mind blowing.

Hoppy but smooth finish. San Jose/Napa/Sonoma 2015.

The most balanced IPA I have found yet. This is close to perfect.
