Respect the day, honor the night. These journeys through mortality, the facing of immense questions of our finite ends. And yet there shall always remain one reaffirming truth. After the darkness comes the bright light. A take on crisp, herbaceous and uber-refreshing Italian-style Pilsner, spearheaded by brewer Ryan Riggs. A blend of pilsner malts create the base, while a collection of German hops provide the bright aromatics and floral flavor components. After a slow step-down crash, we dry-hopped with Hallertau Blanc, Huell Melon and Grungeist. The beer then lagers for many moons before delivering this burst of dry Verdicchio wine, strawberry soda, and citrus baked pastry.

16oz can from Tavour. Foggy golden pour, foamy white head recedes to thin layer. Bready biscuity aroma. Taste is mildly sweet with a hint of lemon peel. Smooth

Tavour: pale yellow with white head. Aroma is soapy and floral. Taste is pretty similar. Light dry bitterness, but the soapiness gets to me.

This brew pours a clear straw-gold color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, citrus and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering floral hop aftertaste. Above average overall.

Surprisingly plain-jane for a Burial pils, very light and crisp but lacking much depth. Slight grainy sweetness from the malts with a touch of cracker, followed by a mild citrus note and a clean, slightly floral finish. Not bad, but a tad too easygoing for my taste.

2 week old pint can A: Clear yellow gold with a tall thick, long lasting white foam pillow. S: Some hay with sweet notes of grains, bread and honey. T: Crisp hop bitterness has pine or juniper evergreens with a tart lemon lime ending. Not sweet, malts are woody with a bit of sourdough. M: Light body, soft carbonation. Refreshing and light drinking. O: Interesting in its difference from smell to taste but not outstanding.
