Pliny the Younger is a Triple IPA, simply meaning that it is higher in alcohol and has tons of hops. The alcohol usually finishes at about 10.25%, although it is remarkably dry for the amount of malt used in this recipe. It is loaded with hop flavors, bitterness, and aromatics.

What kind of IPA is Pliny the Elder?

Pliny the Elder is a double IPA brewed with amarillo, centennial, CTZ and simcoe hops. The beer clocks in at 8 percent ABV, consistent with the beer style, and it’s credited with popularizing the double IPA.
What is the taste of Pliny the Elder?
Sweet, almost candied notes of grapefruit, tangerine, marmalade, and a touch of sweet white grape, while some brighter citrusy lemon and lime define the high end. In typical Pliny fashion, some floral, flowery hop notes emerge before an oily, resinous hop bite cuts in with bitter pine sap and pithy bite, quickly drying out the malt sweetness.
Is there a Pliny the Elder clone?
Well I tried my first Pliny the ELDER clone recently, and it came out awesome. Admittedly it’s not “cloned” at all, because I didn’t have the same hops (from the RR/Vinny clone recipe). So I tossed the clone idea out the window and just used their base malt recipe, with an interpretation of hops fitting for a pseudo-clone.
When was younger brewed?
We brewed Younger for the first time in 2005 as a winter seasonal beer, building upon the Pliny the Elder recipe while pushing the envelope with malt, hops, and alcohol just to see how far we could go! Each year we slightly change up the hops based on the cream of the hop crop selected from the prior year’s vintage.
