I can't say that it is better than the best IPA's I have had, but it is as good as the best. Perfectly balanced, nice bitterness

Balanced malt and hops! You don't taste the 8% abv. Grapefruit, tropical fruit, pine and dank all combine in a lupulin symphony. Worth the hype and accolades!

What is it with these California breweries? I haven't had a bad beer yet! Wish I could get this on the east coast. :-(

Pliny is a decent hop bomb, but is highly over-rated. You can hide a lot of faults behind that many hops.

How do you give less than 5 stars! Smooth balanced. Perfect manage of hops and malts

First of all, I've never met an IPA that I liked. Don't like the bitterness of hops. Still true with this most famous IPA. But with the nice floral taste, IF I liked bitterness of hops, I would like this one . Most beer "connoisseurs" who rate on Beer Genie must be IPA lovers . OK, I get it.

This has the be one of the most balanced IPAs I've ever had. While I tend to like my IPAs a tad hoppier there was something speci about this brew.
