Swim upstream. Nothing glows unless it's cast in shadow. We're marked by the moments that don't match. And yet belong. Very rarely does a collaboration opportunity leave us in awe. But here were are. Riffing with Jason Perkins on the iconic Allagash White. And placing our Burial fingerprint on a classic. This American-style wheat was mashed with Riverbend's Raw White and Appalachian Wheats. Dry-hopped with Motueka, Eclipse, and Nectaron. Conditioned upon Orange Peel and finished with doses of Motueka Cryo and Hop Kief.

This beer is a slightly hazy pale yellow-gold color with a thick frothy white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of wheat, fruit and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, wheat, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is fruity wheat up front with a mild hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Not bad, with a gentle grassy front tinged with vanilla and a hint of clove, offset by a ginger-ish note mixed with citrus and a touch of earth. Finishes yeasty with a slight mineral bitterness.

16oz can pours a translucent mango soda color, tons of fluffy white head. This is really well balanced and easy to drink. Big orange and citrus nose that's balanced with some light coriander and curacao orange. Flavor follows. You can tell it's wheaty and it's lightly sweet but the hop really balances without being abrasive. Fluffy on the finish. Thirst quenching too. Really well made.

Single via Appalachian.
Mojito glass at home. Pale hazy, lingering white-wash head.
Soapy, orange, onion, lemon, floral nose.
Drinks like a hazy. Extra citrus floral, clay, onion, with a little wheat itch & grass on the end.
Watery, carb falls fast, easy abv, thin for the style, mellow acid.
As good as it is, it's stlll just a wheat beer.
