I would give this one a perfect score. But RR’s Pliny the Elder cannibalized it. Amazing beer from an amazing brewery.

This beer unseats Stone IPA as one of the most perfectly balanced IPA’s on Planet Earth, and brings the hops to the party as well. I love this beer. Not many big IPA’s that you can drink all day. BIg hops dominate, with a nice bready malt bringing up the rear. Full flavored. Big citrus. Better than Pliny!

Characteristics: balanced bready citrus hoppy incredible

Golden color. Floral hop aroma. Clean hop flavor and a good malt body. Not bitingly bitter but great IPA bitter. I could drink this till the pigs come home.

Characteristics: hoppy

* With the understanding I’m not huge hop fan *

I’m not an IPA drinker but I love to try beer. The taste was good but the finish is well an IPA so hoppy.

I hear great things about it from IPA lovers so for my taste not so much, for a hop fan I think its a winner.
