As amazing as Pliny the Elder is, Pliny the Younger is even better!!! I just got back from RRBC and I almost cried when I tried Younger.

Greg,

Is this a bomber size bottle? How much does a bottle of this cost in CA?

[Gregsbeerreviews]

@tomcaroscio no, its smaller. I don't know, I got it on a beer trade.

@Gregsbeerreviews Oh trust me, I did. As happy as I am to have tried it...Im equally bummed now that I have no more haha. Hope I can score some again.

@Gregsbeerreviews Im sippin' that Pliny as I type. This is an amazing beer. There is literally nothing that I can find wrong with it, and I can be quite a nitpicker. I was blown away how after I opened it, I could still get a strong hop aroma even with the bottle nearly 20" from my face. Hopslam, Sculpin, and Nugget Nectar are excellent beers and some of my favorites...but Pliny wins, hands down. That smooth, crisp, quenching feel is unheard of in a DIPA. Wow, just wow.

@BassAssassin9 nice, enjoy!
