Burial Beer Hawkbill
What the brewers say
“Theorized of Pilsner, oats, rye, and a blend of six otherworldly hops, this IPA is dry-hopped twice and fermented on our house yeast. Made to quell our innermost fears. Derived from our most outward desires.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Smells like straight pineapple juice with a little cantaloupe. Maybe a touch of malt graininess in the background and some light mint as it warms.”
Flavor: “Like a mango-and-pineapple
carbonated milkshake. Large creaminess that suggests the lactose of milkshake IPAs. Tropical fruit dominates with not much else showing up, but there’s a significant bitterness in the background that keeps it from being a cloying experience. A classic NEIPA juice bomb.”
Overall: “Everything a good NEIPA should be. The soft and creamy mouthfeel, bright tropical fruit flavors from the hops, and balanced bitterness come together in an exceptional way.”
