#39 - Beer Blog 16 - (Pliny the Elder & PLINY THE SORBET)

It's ABOUT TIME I reviewed this beer. This is an Imperial IPA by Russian River Brewing. One of the best Imperial IPA's out there with very strong grapefruit notes. The recipe for PLINY THE SORBET.: PLINY THE SORBET 3/4 cup of water 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup grapefruit juice (approx. half a grapefruit, juiced) one bottle (1 pint) of Pliny the Elder (minus one sip for tasting) Open up the bottle of Pliny the Elder and let it decarbonate for at least 30 min. Meanwhile, put the water and sugar in a small sauce pan and put over medium high heat until the sugar has completely dissolved (approx. 3 min.). Chill it. Chill the grapefruit juice also. Once Pliny the Elder has decarbonated, mix all the ingredients together and keep very cold in the freezer until everything is ready. Mix in a ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions, approx. 30-35 min. The end result will be a very soft textured Italian ice. It must be further frozen overnight in the freezer to achieve the proper texture.
