It's a very dark Saison. The black pepper is very faint and the fruitiness is also there but in the far background. Beer seems delicate and trying to get all the flavor is a chore. Overall it is enjoyable.

He does :dr

Stefan, how does the Pliny compare to other IPA/DIPAs you've had? What is it similar to? I've read a lot, including some clone recipes, but haven't been out west to try any.

Two questions for you.

1) Have you had it?
2) Do you generally enjoy IPAs and, if so, which ones?

Yes I have, over in your neck of the woods. AT the TAPROOM but only because they offered it to me.

I was only giving you my thoughts about it. Not trying toget in a battle over beer.
In the end it always comes down to one thing, what you & your taste buds enjoy...

CHEERS

It is certainly not a battle. But you haven't answered my second question. It would certanly put your original comment in better perspective for those of us that follow the thread.

Trying a 3 Philosophers for the first time. Good, but probably not a style I would prefer going forward.

Grolsch, not too shabby, but I really wanted the bottles for home brewing. Good decision either way!

I'm with Pnoon I hear the Plinys are some of the best DIPA's out there. I would be interested in wondering what was asked as well.

I'm obviously interested but if you like say Dreadnaught but don't like Pliny it might save me the time and hassle in attempting to acquire Pliny and put more focus on buying another case of dreadnaught.

However If you normally don't like DIPAs.....then that would be the reason you did not enjoy Pliny.

Pliny is worth the effort to track a few bottles down.

I couldn't taste 90 minute IPA after Pliny, and the Pliny and 120 minute both held up to each other hop wise, meaning I could go back and forth and still taste each beer fine. That should give you an idea of how hoppy it is.

Hoping my folks will pick me up some Pliny for my birthday. I had some Lagunitas Imperial Stout this evening. Very nice.

Blindjimme 03-03-2011 09:56 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Pliny is a wonderful DIPA. Slightly bitter, VERY piney, evergreen like taste. Great mouthfeel and a long finish. Surprisingly flavorful even real cold. I like to pour cold and drink slow so it warms by the end. Then repeat.

DennisP 03-03-2011 01:11 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I picked up a bottle of Pliny a couple weeks ago. I'm an IPA addict. It lives up to the hype without question. As close to perfect as I've had. My only complain was the head retention, but that was just a single bottle, so who knows. Flavor and balance were exactly what I would want.

I need more.

Had anther bottle of Brookly's Black Chocolate Stout. It's a limited release but I could drink it everyday. Soo enjoyable.

Had a bottle of Harpoons Celtic Ale last night. It was ok nothing special.

I just picked up a bottle of Ommegang's chocolate indulgence. When I mentioned it to a pal he said he preferred the Brooklyn BCS. Have you had both of them? If so what do you think?

my :2. I think they are completely different. I like them both though.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Good to hear. Right now I am thinking of holding onto it until I can dig up a brooklyn BCS, but that resolve will probably break down tomorrow night.
