The Offering: Pliny the Younger, Imperial IPA, Russian River Brewing Co. California USA
ABV: 11.0%
Wow, just wow. 8 hours in line and I will venture to say totally worth it. Will I do it next year? absolutely not. I will find another way in. The brew is hands down awesome though. Pure Liquid Hops. If they needed a slogan that would be it. It is sweet bitter and delicious. The nose is amazing, like diving into a field of sweetened hops. For all the hoppyness the mouth is surprisingly smooth and creamy. There is no astringency, almost as if you are drinking the smell. On the end a great clean finish! I really can't recommend this enough. If you ever get the chance to head to Russian River during the 2 week release, do it, otherwise find it in a San Fran bar during beer week (Toronado etc.)
Points: 97
Thanks o Katie
Cheers
