L-Pours a one finger headed beer with heavy carbonation. Straw gold in color, slightly opaque/hazy. The head dissipates to about a quarter inch and anchors there for a while.
S-Nice sweet and grainy german pilsner malt up front, biscuit breadiness, subtle fruit, like citrus (specifically lemon), on the nose.
T-Peppery and grainy german malt, subtly sweet with a hint of honey, notes of wheat and lemongrass are there as well, followed by a whisper of floral notes. Nice bitterness at the tail end.
F-Refreshing and light with poppy effervescence, but surprisingly sticky.
O-A solid pilsner from a brewery I have been longing to try. I snagged this, as well as an IPA in their distro area. Unfortunately drank all of the IPA too fast to review... Dammit.

Overall, would certainly have again. Nothing incredibly special, but well crafted and a good introduction to the brewery for me.

Enjoyed a 16 oz pour at the South Slope location on 12-24-25 for $7.00.

Beer was served clear gold with a nice white head. Nose had notes of floral hops and crackery malts. Taste was crackery with slight touch of peppery hops, balanced. Mouthfeel was light bodied and refreshing. Overall, a decent brew. I will need to purchase a can at some point for a proper review.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Undated 12 oz can at the Spring 2024 Albino Skunk Music Festival.

Appearance. Clear golden body with a generous head that reduces quickly but stops leaving a still full covering.

Surprisingly distinctive and complex. This has a plentiful variety of aromatic and gustatory notes but none them are unwanted or out of place ... not even that note of anise. This may be the best bottled or canned German Pilsner I've ever had.

 

 

Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is straw, transparent, off white/brighter white head presents less than a finger thick, then dissipates to thin top, some spotty lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is subdued - pilsner malt notes of bread and biscuit, some earth and grassy hops but low strength.

Taste is more pronounced than aroma - pilsner malt notes of biscuit, bread, honey, some earthy and grassy hop notes but low.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, low/moderate sweetness, lower/moderate bitterness.

Overall - a clean, lighter pilsner than some but maybe to style in more ways than I thought.

 

 

On tap at forest camp. White head, lace. Slightly cloudy straw yellow.

Grassy, zesty, hoppy. Crisp, clean, fairly bitter. Biscuit and bready. Crackers.

Smooth and clean. A bit grainy finish. Nice pils.

Golden hued body, clear; fairly dense and lively carbonation; initial thick head, white and sudsy, quickly dissipating to a patchy, sticky glob of foam atop the beer with spidery fingers of suds decorating the interior glass. Very nice aroma of fruit and floral notes; pear and peach; honeydew melon. Light malt base flavor with a moderate hop bitterness; lightly toasted cereal grain; dull, earthy esters. Medium-heavy body; smooth and velvety; a bit sticky; slightly dry.

The beer seems a bit rich and robust for a pilsner yet has some decent enough taste.

I'm not at the necessary aficionado status to do justice to a detailed review. Instead, I'll simply say this beer exceeded my expectations for fantastic drinkability. I was in the mood for a pilsner and grabbed this from the singles cooler. Burial Beer Co. was new to me and I hoped for the best. Poured from a 12 ounce can, I appreciated the expected golden color, but fell in love with a much less bitter taste than I often associate with pilsners. This could account for why some other reviewers suggest placing the beer in another category. Regardless of what you want to call it, I'll search out for more in the coming summer months.

Served at Burial in Asheville.

Crystal clear gold with healthy foamy white head. Aroma is subdued and flavor is mostly slightly nutty Pilsner malt with hop bitterness and a light lemony touch. Feel is good with light body and moderate carbonation and dry finish. Not bad but I don’t really prefer the nutty malt profile.
