Cannibalistic Methodologies
Burial Beer Co.

05/19/23 draft @ Burial Forestry Camp

Is the IPA competition made us eat ourselves alive? Or has more hops become a way through the savage appoach to beer buying, making and drinking. Built on the backs of Citra, Galaxy, Strata, El Dorado and Cryo hops is Burial's jab at standing out and surviving the purge.

Cannibalistic Methodologies probably won't win us any spelling bee's but it will win over the senses with an herbal, dank, fruity and herbal scent that skirts just above a deep golden base and a frothy ivory cap. As the sweetness of dough, honey, wafer and shortcake green the early palate, a maltier tone is set.

But that overabundance of hops flood the middle palate with force as the raw taste of white grapefruit, tangerine, lime and lemon bring strong citrus flavor while more tropical flavors of dried pineapple, passionfruit and papaya add an exotic zing. Stone fruit, vinous flavors and an array of botanicals steer the session in a bitter citronella direction.

Full bodied and pillowy to start, the session dries in finish to allow a bitterness to give sharpness and more resinous character to the finish. Pungent and pot-like, nuances of chive, geranium and grassiness becomes catty in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

Canned 11/16/20; drank 11/26/20 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange/yellow appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big white head; thick lacing.

Lemon, orange peel & cane sugar notes in the nose.

Creamy medium mouthfeel.

Lemon & orange peel flavors up front; cane sugar, mild ganja & faint peanut butter notes on the finish. As this warmed, faint booze heat notes emerged.

Robust & tasty; not the greatest Burial DIPA, but this is a worthy brew. I'd have another.
