This beer, in collaboration with Roses and Torrades, is a tribute to two great American beers named after historical figures of ancient Rome: Pliny the Elder (author, naturalist and natural philosopher) and Pliny the Younger (lawyer, author and magistrate).

What remains a lesser known fact is that both Pliny were actually uncle and nephew, so it seemed of the utmost importance to create Pliny the Uncle and tell the rest of the story.

It is a traditional West Coast IPA with transparent appearance and light amber color. In smell, the citrus and herbal notes stand out, we also find certain notes of ripe stone fruit. In flavor we also find these citrus notes in a round sip that invites you to take another.

Malts: Barley Malta, Maris Otter.
Hops: Columbus
Dry Hopping: Columbus, Centennial, Citra, Amarillo

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Green session), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is super dank, with tons of piney hops, big dankness, and just enough dry malt to back. Flavour is much the same, with dank hops, some pine, and dry malt to back. Dank, piney fine. Good.

Can. Unclear amber color with white head. Aroma is canned peach, citric. Taste is the same, not too sticky, powdered sugar but decent freshness too. Oily mouthfeel, decent body. Nice!
