Upon this dead earth, I lay encased in a carcass of my past. And the bones beneath this blood-bustling decay exude the only shreds of my future realities. Made with Mosaic and El Dorado hops and a final dose of Mosaic Cryo.

A - Pours a hazy bright gold with a fizzy white head.

S - Aroma is tangerine, mango and pineapple.

T - The taste is candied orange, mango, overripe peaches, watermelon hard candy, some oats and a nice hop bite in the finish.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel with a soft crisp finish.

O - Another winner from Burial.

Canned 9/28/20; drank 10/7/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque orange appearance.

A violent pour yielded a huge white head; a thick curtain of lace.

Orange citrus, dry wheat & faint cane sugar notes in the nose.

Soft, medium mouthfeel.

Orange citrus & dry oats flavors up front; mild cane sugar notes on the finish. No booze heat.

Above average NE IPA from a reliable source.

Had at Green Truck Neighborhood Pub, Savannah, on draft into tulip.

Head doesn’t last, but still leaves nice lacing, wonderful sweet citrus aroma doesn’t last, but makes an impact anyway, but on drinking the beer is biting yet creamy and fruity yet malty, a great beer.

New England style, I guess that's close to America.

Pours a hazy peach colored small white bar pour head, some lace from small head.

Aroma is tropical fruits, nice and fruity some sweet malt not much in the way of bitterness.

Taste is tropical fruits good sweet malt base. Hop flavors definitely better then the most tropical fruit sweetness along with some citrus and herbal bitterness to make it more IPA like.

Mouhfeel is big medium pretty full like carbonation has some zip too it in the finish.

Overall nose could be better, flavor kind of NE style with a pretty decent hop kick.
