2019: A place for mankind. Made with the righteous apostles at Modern Times Beer. Mashed with chaos-inducing but absolutely satisfying rye malt. Double Dry-Hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe T90 and Cryo.

2020: A resurrection for our shrine of peaceful thought. Made with the righteous apostles at Modern Times Beer. Mashed with chaos-inducing but absolutely satisfying rye malt. Double Dry-Hopped with Galaxy, hand-selected Cashmere, and Citra and Cashmere Cryo.

First tried this from the local Harris Teeter Burial rotation they have…nice. I can honestly say this is my favorite IPA from Burial I have had. End of Plagues, Until There Is No Longer, Prophetmaker, all good in their own right. But for just a classic American IPA, it’s got good haze and the flavors are beautifully balanced with citrus and heavy melon fruit. Masterfully made beer!!! My new favorite IPA if I must say.

A - Pours a hazy orange with a fizzy one finger white head. Decent amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is pineapple, passionfruit, lime and dank hops.

T - The taste is grapefruit, candied orange, pineapple, lime and a resinous hop bite.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel with crisp finish.

O - Solid.

I have fell in love with Burial Brewery, it appears that I have biased opinions. This one is 5 out of 5 for me. Great work.
