The simple tools of our own souls set the pace of the deadly battle for purity. Made from a decoction of 100% pilsner. Hopped with Tettnanger, Saaz, Crystal and Mandarina hops and then spunded in the fermenter to produce natural carbonation. A truly classic, cellar lager.

Pours an effervescent fairly clear gold with 3 fingers of pillowy pearl colored head. Hazes a bit as the can empties, stellar head retention & lacing
S: Wet cereal notes, perfumy hops & doughyness
T: Grassyness, pears, plenty of dryness up front. Rich doughyness with a little bit of peppery yeast twang, sweet bready notes as well as this warms. Finishes with a little peppery & grassy hop bite, doughyness & pears
MF: Medium body, subtle carbonation
Well done, easy drinking, nice take on the style

A: The beer is hazy yellow in color—just a little too hazy to see if there is any visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left lots of lacing on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of yeast are present in the nose along with notes of bready malts and hints of grassy hops.
T: The taste follows the smell, having flavors of yeast and bready malts.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little chewy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beers seems a little maltier and a little less yeastier compared to others in the style but still makes for a good kellerbier.
Serving type: can

Nice bready, buiscuity aroma. Taste is doughy with a nice balance hop crispness and mild bitterness in finish to balance. Very soft and slick mouthfeel. Quite the exceptional beer for this style. Very much enjoyed. Great session beer as well.

12 oz can, sept 17, 2018, poured into a tulip glass. A pale golden yellow with a one finger head that moves to a thin lace quickly. Aroma is heavy zest and toasted grains. Flavor is right in line, some grassiness and pale malts. Mouthfeel is medium, carbonation medium high. Solid offering from Burial, a zesty Keller, a nice lighter alternative.

Crystal clear, light gold with a big foamy white head. Nice bands of lacing left on the glass. The nose is bready, grainy, lemony, grassy with some peppery notes. Tastes grainy sweet with bread yeast and a peppery finish. Decent bitterness and a lighter body.

16 ounce can, no date, just a bright blue smudge. Poured into tulip.
Pours a medium dull and dark yellow. White 1” head. The nose is lemon, dough and corn. Oh yeah, taste follows much of the nose. Dough, soft wheat, lemon with a slight corn finish. Floral and traditional hops. Medium slick mouthfeel makes for easy drinking.
