Burial Beer Co. Our Hearts of Ruin Dry-Hopped Pilsner

Posted on by Evan

This Burial Beer Co. (https://burialbeer.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqJOrM9CbYCxpAdNizGO9TiC4ofYyJeIzBK9laNMvKWXqztqEa9) beer is a dry-hopped pilsner called Our Hearts of Ruin. It is 5% ABV, mashed with Pilsner malt, and double-dry hopped with new harvest Motueka and Hallertau Blanc hops. Burial says this is a west-coast-inspired lager. This beer pours golden yellow with a three-finger head that leaves thick lacing behind. The aroma is slightly hoppy and crisp. It has a lemon and vegetable scent as well. The flavor is crips and somewhat hoppy with a sweet wine like taste. The mouthfeel is light with this beer. This beer has a dry finish that is a little hoppy. The aftertaste is also dry, but the sweet wine note is gone. This is a good beer, A from me. The hops slightly overpower the malt of this pilsner. But that does not hold this beer back that much. It is a delicious beer that is worth trying. I recommend it. You can get this at (https://www.southernspirits.com) and Total Wine (https://www.totalwine.com). Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Trader Joes Josephs Brau Drive Thru Red

Posted on by Evan

Drive Thru Red from Josephs Brau (Trader Joe’s) in San Jose California is a dry-hopped red ale. This beer is 7.2% ABV and uses noble Tattnanger hops. This beer gets its name from the giant redwood trees in northern California that you can drive through. This red ale pours a red color with a one-and-a-half finger off-white head. The head is steady but does fade down to scattered clouds. The aroma is malty, hoppy, and bitter. There is a little sweet note as well. The flavor is malty, bitter, semi-sweet, and hoppy. This beer has a medium feel in the mouth. This ale finishes with a light bitter/hoppy note. Then you get an aftertaste of a light, semi-sweet bitterness. This beer is just average, getting a C+. I would like to have more hoppy notes with this beer. That would make this a good beer. I am coming to the conclusion that Trader Joe’s Joseph Brau beers are hit or miss. I like some, then I don’t like others. Please stay safe, be kind to one another, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Triple C Brewing Company Enzo Gorlami Italian Style Pilsner

Posted on by Evan

This double dry-hopped Italian style Pilsner, Enzo Gorlami, 5.5% ABV from Triple C Brewing Company, is made locally in Charlotte. This pilsner pours a gold color with a big two-finger white head that slowly fades. The aroma is crisp, lightly bitter, and citrusy. The flavor is crisp tasting with a bitter lemon and grapefruit flavor. The mouthfeel is light. Then this pilsner finishes with a light bitter note and a bit of a dry crips flavor. The aftertaste is okay. There is a bitter fruit there with a bread note. Well, this was starting off to be a bad-tasting beer until I looked up, that is double dry-hopped, then the off-flavor made sense. But I still don’t think this is a great pilsner. I give Enzo Gorlami a D+. I don’t care so much for a bitter/hoppy pilsner, but save that hoppy flavor for a lager. I don’t recommend this pilsner. It starts smooth and crisp, then it just goes bitter without warning, then finishes crisp with light bitter notes. The flavors don’t go well. It’s s like a different beer in the middle. Please be kind, stay safe, and always remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
