A Note on This Beer

When it comes to hoppy brews, Burial Beer Co. is on a whole other level. Thrillist even calls them one of the 13 Essential American Breweries because of it!

Every year, co-founder Doug Reiser travels from Asheville, North Carolina to Washington’s Yakima Valley to hand-select the brewery’s hops. 

Doug searches high and low for older generation Mosaic Hops because they boast loads of blueberry notes. Then, he uses these berry-tastic hops as the frontrunner in Burial’s dry, West Coast-style Surf Wax IPA!

No need for any haze-inducing additives here — it’s so crisp and clean, you can taste ALL the sweet melon and berry flavors from the Mosaic, backed with the piney, orange-zesty flavors of Citra and Simcoe Hops. And, with its 90% barley base, it’s incredibly smooth and totally crushable.

But right now, the only place you’ll find this top-notch hoppy gold is in North Carolina, and right here on Tavour. 

So, whether this is your first time hearing about Burial Beer, or you’ve had them on your must-try list for years, you really don’t want to miss snagging some Surf Wax today. 

Rated 4.00 on Untappd; 92/100 on BeerAdvocate; Taste of Home #19 Best IPA to Try in 2019; Paste Mage #20 IPA of 2018

Drinkable but nothing special. Quite a bit of bitter with no balance. Dry

Pours foamy and lightly hazey. Malty and full of biscuit flavor, a hint of the hops starts to peak through as it finishes dry and toasty.

Balanced West Coast with pine, biscuit, and hints of tropical notes. Finishes clean with low bitterness and more pine.

Feel the swell. An everyday IPA by drink, but not by price.

Very well balanced with a really nice layer of bitterness below a nice slightly floral and refreshing and hoppy finish. In a world where most IPA’s go for the extremes of juicy or bitter this is a great reminder there is value to balance

Foamy white head, hazy appearance, fresh floral tropical aroma, upfront spiciness, juicy resinous hops taste with a touch of wheat, nice mouthfeel from the barley, and lingering bitterness.

Creamy and smooth. Not much of a hop bitterness. Maybe a slight apricot.

Skipped this one when we visited Burial hoping to catch it in the can later. And here we are!! Really, really solid house IPA. Smooth citrus & tropical hops with a bit of grainy malt on the finish.

Grab your surfboard, and do not bury this one in the back of your fridge, because this is better than lots of West Coast IPAs I have access to on the daily. “¡Vaya Con Dios!”

Tons of piney and orangey aromas with juicy, dank pithy taste. Love the intercoastal mash-up!
