A blade for many a pocket, this IPA displays malt in its most elemental form: Pilsner, Oats, and locally grown and malted rye. Mosaic, El Dorado, and Galaxy hops present a sharp, citrus punch while the addition of Simcoe to the dry hop adds a final piney complexity to this easy sipping, hazy IPA.

It may be unfair for me to rate this beer from Burial. I picked it up because I really enjoy most of what I get from Burial. I liked the lower ABV for an IPA as the ever 7% ABV beers are not my cup of tea. My impression of this beer is that it comes across as a hazy IPA and I have found that this style does not appeal to me. The appearance is cloudy with a nice head and lacing on the drink down. The aroma is a bit floral and the taste is mildly citrus. Mouthfeel is medium. I will finish the mixer but I won't be repeating it. If you are a fan of NEIPAs you will probably like this quite a bit more than I did.

12oz canned 03 APR 2020. Opened 5-10-20.
1 finger white head with good retention. Opaque, orange-gold IPA.
The head settles in at a thick, solid cap and leaves early lacing behind and a plethora of lace rings/patterns as the beer disappears.
Orange, grapefruit, pineapple, pine.
Some raw yeast aroma under the hop aromas.
Grapefruit rind, pine, and bright lemon. Zesty flavors. Getting lots of melon on can 5 and 6, very tasty.
Enough of a malt base to pick up some dough and cream flavors deep under the hops.
Medium to full body with a soft mouthfeel. Low bitterness and a medium length zesty citrus hop drenched dry finish.
High drinkability and at 6% close to sessionable.
Very Good.

Canned 4/21/20; drank 5/5/20 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque yellow/orange appearance.
A violent pour yielded a big off-whitehead; nice lace.
Orange peel, lemon, dry wheat & faint table sugar notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Lemon & orange peel flavors up front; dry wheat & faint table sugar notes on the finish.
Balanced & enjoyable, but not a show-stopper. I'd have another...
