Burial Beer Co. Pitiless Indifference

_Brett_ dominates aroma with wood, leather, light fruit, oak-vanilla, and a fresh, piney, spicy-hop edge. Sour flavor, with hops trending toward lemon-citrus. Rounded finish. Not pushing any boundaries, but well executed. Is this beer really better for having _Brett?_

**Aroma:** “Juniper and pine, lots of banana, and a bit of pepper. The wood and barrel character are very present as well. Slight fruity sweetness on the back and a strong booze character. Mild floral and cedar aromas.” **Flavor:** “Big banana and banana peel with herbal juniper and pine plus pepper in the background. The piney gin character hits first but transitions smoothly into orange notes. Finishes dry with a pine taste lingering. Slightly under-carbonated.” **Overall:** “I really like the herbal gin characteristics and the tart carbonated finish. This is a really interesting beer—complex and nuanced—but I’d love a bit less banana and sweetness. It’s like a gin/beer cocktail throughout. Wonderful complexity between the malt sweetness and the earthiness of the juniper-berry flavor.”

“A fantastic nose of light coffee and chocolate. Hint of herbal hop. Light coffee roast with fairly forward acidity and light acrid notes. Light toast and biscuit malt, but more of a burnt-toast vibe overall.”
