Gonna be honest: I likely couldn’t tell the difference between most of these Burial west coast IPAs, but they’re all consistently very good. Like no matter what the hop makeup/ratio is, they always check all the boxes for what I want in an IPA. No haze, very little sweetness, some juice and pine and a good bitter finish. Another Burial WCIPA, ctrl+C, ctrl+V and I’m a happy guy.

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

Solid NEIPA, juicy without being unbearably sweet, bright notes of papaya, grapefruit, peach, citrus zest, and a touch of pine. I so dearly wish it amped up the pine; might be a great IPA then. As is: good!

Dark yellow color with a malty and slightly spicy and floral hop aroma. Taste has a full bodied malt sweetness followed by a spicy, slightly citrusy mildly bitter hop finish. Crisp ending. Nice balanced flavors.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow color with a sly transparency and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: herbal to floral character, light lemon and lemon zest, light orange peel, some grassy to hay-like scents, sweet grains and some funky to earthy vibes
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sweet earthy to floral and funky sort of way; finishes somehwhat orangey, floral and funky
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being sessionable, some smoothness and nothing preventing any sort of dryness or any harshness
Overall: pretty good saison I'd be willing to come back to.

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

Oak, a bit of fruit, bold and malty. Along the same lines, a lot of coffee, even some spices, and roasted malt. Enjoyable.
