Beer Reviews:
Tobin’s Review 3.5 out of 5
Pliny the Elder has a murky light gold hue with a small white head that quickly dissipates. It has a nice sweet light hops aroma with a bit of pine on the nose. The beer is soft at first with a sweet flavor that turns slightly bitter. It’s really good as it doesn’t end bitter!
