Burial Beer from Asheville, North Carolina, has recently gained a new distributor. That means I’ve been seeing more of their beer in places like Whole Foods, where I found Drowning in Habits India Pale Ale. The IPA is 7% ABV. This beer is world pooled with Incognito hops. It has barley and oats. It’s double-dry hopped with Eclipse, Citra, Simcoe, and Strata hops. It is aged with lime, cinnamon, and vanilla bean. There are a lot of ingredients to this IPA. I lot of these ingredients I have not seen in an IPA. According to the blurb on the can, this beer is trying to go for a fruity candy-like flavor. This beer pours a bright cloudy yellow with a one-finger white head. The aroma I sweet, limey, vanilla, orange, oat scented, and there’s some pineapple. The taste is fruity with orange, lime, and light pineapple. There is some sweet vanilla and faint cinnamon with some bitterness. The beer’s Flavor is a kind of cream probably from the vanilla beans. The mouthfeel is on the fuller side. Then this beer comes to a bittersweet fruited finish. Then you get a nice bitter aftertaste that is somewhat fruit candy-like. I give it a B. The flavor is kind of good together. I can barely tell the flavors apart. But I still would recommend this and I’d have another. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
