FYI it's Pliny. The beer gods cursed you with an old beer because you don't even know how to spell it.
If only they put some kind of notice on the label indicating that this beer should be consumed fresh.
Pliny is about as consistent a beer that is being brewed, just drink it as fresh as possible. If it's malty it's old, and if it was bottled in March and it's the last day in July I would be disappointed too, the bottles says consume fresh and they mean it.
Man, how could you not find a way to drink that beer when it was fresh (assuming you purchased it in March)?
