Burial Beer Hawkbill

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.”
