I have found my Pliny Killer

I have found my Pliny killer.........









...........and his name is Nelson!

 

Please notify me when someone has found the ">Pliny" thread killer.

 

New Glarus and Myrcenary both blow me away every time I drink one. Amazing brews that seem to get better as the glass empties, which is depressing once they are finally all gone. Furious is a great go-to as well.

 

I guess. Maybe I would buy one.

 

Myrcenary has to be ine of the most "under-hyped" DIPA's out there. It's go to when I can get it.

Alos, HH is excellent...I'd rate it as high as Pliny any day.

 

I agree. Though I still haven't tried Heady, I do feel like White Rajah and Head Hunter are high on my list too. I did enjoy Dreadnought the most though, out of the above mentioned. But as many will say, it's all up to the individual's taste buds.

 

I found mine along time ago... Oso Lupulin Maximus IIPA! Unfortunately I can't get it near me! HT is pretty great as well!!!

 

Surly Abrasive

 

Dreadnaught

 

Head Hunter is def > White Rajah " for me". But Pliny... Not so sure. I will say its in the ball park.

 

Somehow in spite of all the commentary in this thread PTE is the 6th best beer on the BA list!

 

I ranked Heady and Double Sunshine higher than PtE.

 

PTE is a great brew; Period. There are other great ones out there too.

 

Sorry, Uinta Hop Notch can't hold Pliny's spent grains...

 

There have been a number of beers that I say to myself "This is better than Pliny", such as Heady, Citra, etc, but what I've come to appreciate more with PTE is that it is a such an approachable beer suited to daily drinking. Over time some of the others would get too heavy/cloying to drink regularly, while PTE is so balanced in body, taste, and aroma that it is hard to beat.

 

To me, Columbus IPA > Head Hunter > White Rajah

But those 3 are all pretty close. I'm lucky to have such great IPA's available here in Ohio. I can't imagine Pliny is that much better than those 3, but I guess I'll find out once I get to try Pliny one of these days.

 

Interesting, my preference is Rajah, then Head Hunter, then Columbus; although Rajah falls off pretty quick after a few weeks. For me, Head Hunter has a biting acerbity, whereas Rajah is fruity and has a great balance of citrus.

 

First off, no its not an IPA, but it is borderline based on bjcp guidelines.. Look it up.. Pretty sure thats the reason all the three floyds haters had a problem with it winning bronze at gabf..

Second, the OP never said you had to pick an ipa/dipa, the question was "what is your pliny killer" who are you to tell me what my preference is? Sorry forgot, pliny is srs bizness.. Have fun trolling

 

Dude take it easy.

 

Of course Pliny and Head Hunter are the worst of the beers mentioned. They're both distributed to more than one state for Christ's sake. Everybody knows the smaller the distribution footprint is the better the beer is.

I really don't get the lovefest for Heady Topper. I recently traded 2 sixers of Head Hunter for 2 four packs of Heady and I certainly feel like I got hosed. In hindsight I would have much rather drank the Head Hunters.
