Poured into a goblet, pours a nice golden yellow color with a one finger white head that dissipated quickly to crown the beer. Great citrus and pine aromas initially, with the alcohol following through. Taste is more piney than the smell, with the citrus and alcohol more present on the finish. Feel is a little more than medium bodied and has a good oily finish for the DIPA. Very good drinkable beer for the style and quite enjoyable.

Terrapin Brewing Company - Rye Squared
Enjoying being in an area with a few new brews and breweries to try and enjoy. Tonight I got a couple of brews from Terrapin Brewing that are not available in Colorado.
Rye Squared poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass. Pours a deep amber/ruby in color with an ample off-white head. Flavors initially of the rye and hops bitterness with pine notes present. Malty balance follows with some definite sweetness. Good overall balance. Mouth does not have very much carbonation but a definite dryness. Overall a good beer that I could have a few of in a setting.

Russian River Brewing Company - Pliny the Elder
Best beer I have had...ever!
For starters bottled on 2/3/2009 and consumed on 4/5/2009. A little long of a wait for this beer that needs to be had fresh but still very good
Poured from the bottle into a rounded tumbler, brilliant, almost glowing orange golden color, poured one finger of loose, medium bubble head, very sticky and laces beautifully. Wonderful floral and citrus aroma of hops. The hops of the taste a little bit in contrast to the aroma as pine is more present though the grapefruit aftertaste is there. Crisp, light bodied feel, with any oily feel. Relatively light, though ABV would hinder drinking too many
