Russian River Brewing Company

Double IPA·United States·8% ABV·One of 280 Double IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Pliny for President's citrusy and fruity character. Vivid yuzu, lemon and a touch of tangerine over a fresh white-flower aroma, with ripe mango in the flavor, per Craft Beer & Brewing's 2024 review. It is a double dry-hopped version of Pliny the Elder with one or two new hop varieties. Per Russian River, it is Pliny's 4th time running for President with the Keg Party in 16 years, and his first in a can.
