Perspectives From the Ninth Sense
Burial Beer Co.

A; Pours a very lightly hazy medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + apricot + pale golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of biscuit + grainy + wheat-like malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of lager yeast. Light aromas of strawberry + citrus/lemon zest + herbal hops.

T: Upfront there are slightly that moderate flavors of biscuit + grainy + wheat-like malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light flavors of strawberry + citrus/lemon zest + herbal hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving a clean finish.

M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a very refreshingly pleasant crisp + clean mouthfeel. Enjoyable dry-hopped pilsner with an interesting strawberry + citrus + herbal hop combination.

Pours a clear, bright, lemon-gold body capped with a finger and a half of fluffy, white foam; decent head retention leaves a paper-thin cap, moderate, frothy collar, and an array of chunky, webby lacing strewn across the walls of the glass.

Aromas of white bread find a touch of strawberry and cream of wheat heft before easing to vivid white tea and lemongrass, an herbal tendency hinting toward the impending amalgam of straw and fresh jasmine to come, while clean minerality and yeasty subtleties linger.

Taste brings white bread crust and a touch of strawberry into distant melon rind and a firm minerality; tinges of musty straw over the mid-palate fade to wet moss and dew-soaked jasmine easing through the finish.

Mouthfeel brings a light body and higher-end carbonation dispersing a fluffy prickle to pseudo-bitterness along the mid-palate, rounding to a rounded, ultra-clean back end and swallow.

A complex and ambitious pilsner, utilizing dry-hopping in deft harmony with a more traditional malt/hop bill to accentuate vivid herbal textures against a soft, snappy core; a clean balance of refreshing tone for a quirky yet entirely approachable end result.
