Now imagine how good a bottle that's two weeks old (or less!) would taste. There's a reason why a certain bottle of Pliny the Elder recieved my highest review score ever.

I might have liked it more if I hadn't expected a much hoppier experience.
Anyone tried any others from the "Pugsley Signature Series" Shipyard puts out?

That sounds exactly what I expected XXXX IPA to taste like. I've had the imperial porter from the Shipyard Pugsley Signature Series; I found it pretty blah.
