Russian River (2020)

I got the same message but when I checked the tracking number on the GSO site, it says it will be delivered tomorrow.

 

Weird, mine still says 5/29 on the GSO website. Hopefully it updates overnight.

 

Mine said the same thing, but around 6am this morning the parcel arrived in my area out for delivery. I think the site still says "delivery by 29th" but it just showed up a few minutes ago. I'm in San Luis Obispo.

 

My Pliny cans just arrived via GSO, and were most definitely not kept cold. Both my Moonlight and SARA cans arrived nicely chilled, so that's annoying. Yay for warm cans of Pliny traveling around in a van all day in 100 degree weather. Hopefully the ones heading farther south are kept cold for you all!

 

I noticed this too... warm Pliny is no good.

 

I guess I'll hope Pliny for President hits So Cal distro on the next batch.

 

Data points and all, but my Pliny arrived cold in LA.

 

Mine were delivered about two hours ago. They were left on my porch. I just opened them and they were still cool. Some cans still had moisture on them. Sorry yours were hot. Just adding another data point.

Edited to add that I’m in LA

 

How's the DDH Pliny?

 

I'm about 1.5 hours south of the brewery, so looks like @fegelFatso and I got the non-refrigerated van option.

 

For what it's worth, They canned and packaged them asap in the late morning yesterday and were put onto trucks immediately, now in your position the following day.

 

San Jose?

 

So, Russian River made a hazy ipa...

May the Lord be with us in these dark times.

 

Curious on people's thoughts on P4P. Especially the malt profile.

I had a Pliny at the airport before all this craziness went down and thought it was good, but maltier than I remembered. I hadn't had it in probably 2 years previously.

Regardless, I'll be looking to try this out if it ever hits distro in SF.

 

Doesn't really look hazy to me from the pictures I've seen on untapped. More like a Cellarmaker unfiltered IPA that you can see through, but it's not exactly "clear".

• Pliny the Younger 2019 (Windsor)
• Tempo Change
• Mind Circus

 

Not a true hazy. More like a Vinnie’s RR version of hazy. I’ve had it many times now. It’s okay. I prefer Blind Pig. Hoping to try DDH Elder.

 

P4P is really quite nice. It's NOT hazy, just a little cloudy. Initial taste is pure Pliny. The finish is a bit more dry, with a nice hop bite that hits the back of your tongue.

Honestly, it's not drastically different, really delicious, and balanced.

Can was 1 day old, and arrived cool. I'll consume again today now that the beer has 'rested' from it's truck ride and has had a chance to settle in the can a bit.

 

hopeful for that too!

 

Drinking one this evening and I agree with the above review. Mine also canned on 5/26.
