Collaboration with Threes Brewing
Take it easy, fella. Have it both ways. A light pilsner malt base, our house lager yeast and Saphir and Citra hops brewed in collaboration with our friends at Threes Brewing in Brooklyn.

16 oz can poured into a Guinness style pint glass. A clear yellowish-orange with a half finger head that moves immediately to a thin lace. Herbal, grassy, slightly dank aroma. The taste is orange citrus, slightly bitter, grass and bread. Carbonation is medium, feel is medium light and crisp. A nice blend of the styles, very sessionable,

Canned on 4/12/18. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a pale golden with some haze to it; fluffy eggshell white head that slowly falls leaving great thick retention and nice lacing. The aromas have a nice amount of citrus along with some subtle hints of tropical fruits. Orange, grapefruit and pineapple. Some malts and crackers. The flavors follow the nose for the most part. More orange and grapefruit. Some pineapple and coconut in the mix. Some crackers and bread
Some fresh grass. Solid hop flavors, but it doesn't come off as that bitter. Malts do their thing without dominating. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is nice. It's on the lighter side of medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's fluffy, sharp, smooth and easy to drink.
This is a nice "India Pale Lager". It's clean, crisp and refreshing. It drinks more on the IPA side than the lager side, but it works. Nice collaboration. I like it.

this is crazy good, sort of a hybrid kind of brew, basically an india pale lager here, brewed light on the malts, crisp and dry like a pilsener, but then really robustly dry hopped with some great varietals to yield a summery and juicy beer thats at least as hoppy as most american pale ale, but that drinks crisp and delicate and easy, its wonderful and ambitious and executed beautifully! citra and saphir hops make it fruity and bright, meyer lemon and tangerine notes to this, orange soda and dried grass too, and mild bitterness thats exacerbated a little bit by the fast finish. the lager yeast is light and clean, slightly european but very mild. seemingly efficient in its work though, this is so dry and snappy in the finish, its quick and refreshing for how flavorful the beer is overall. great carbonation, gentle pils malt, and a minimalist body make this summery and highly drinkable, and indeed i could happily crush through plenty of cans of this. great hop complexion, lively bubbles, full of life, this is killer. burial seems to be the king of collaborations right now, they team up with everyone! this is perfect summer beer for those seeking a volume drinker with plenty of hops! delicious!

Poured from a 12 oz can into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint glass. Canned by 6/13/17.
A: Slightly hazy golden with 1-2 fingers of frothy, off-white head fade to a solid band of lacing.
S: Hops are lime, grapefruit, melon, dank and floral with crackery pils malt graininess.
T: Smooth and well-integrated flavor with melon, lime, grapefruit, orange, and dank character with delicious, lightly sweet pils maltiness. No yeast character. Low-medium bitterness.
M: Easy drinkability with creamy texture with medium carbonation and good layering on the palate and fairly dry finish.
O: A really enjoyable citrus/floral/dank hoppy IPL. Solid beer and a great collab for sure.

12oz can harvested from the brewery by a friend. Canned 6/13/17. Served in a Burial snifter.
Pours a dull, hazy yellow with about a two finger cap of white foam. The head settles to a thin persistent layer, narrow band and a few small spots of lace.
Smells of light, crackery malt, some faint citrus and earthy fruit rind.
Tastes of orange, herbal grass, vaguely fruity bread and pale grains.
Light body with moderate carbonation. Fairly dry aftertaste of lightly citrus-kissed grainy bread.
Burial is back with another collaboration, this time a hoppy lager with Two Roads. Both Ways is an easy drinking lager with a light but pronounced hop bite.
