And This Is The Unholiest Triple India Pale Ale (Never Again)

Tap to rate

Burial Beer Co., hailing from the mountain city of Asheville, North Carolina, pulled no punches with this one-time extreme release. And This Is The Unholiest Triple India Pale Ale (Never Again) pours a hazy, deep golden amber with a soft, pillowy head. The Appalachian craft veterans load the aroma with thunderous waves of tropical fruit, ripe citrus, and resinous pine, underpinned by a faint honeyed sweetness. On the palate, a rich, oily body delivers layers of mango, tangerine, and candied grapefruit, while a firm but measured bitterness keeps things grounded. The finish lingers long and warm, marked by dank hop resin and a gentle malt backbone. A singular, unrepeatable statement from one of the American South's most daring breweries.

AI-generated sensory profile for And This Is The Unholiest Triple India Pale Ale (Never Again)

◎ Appearance

This beer presents a hazy, deep golden amber hue with excellent clarity despite its turbidity. A soft, pillowy head forms and clings to the glass with persistent lacing, indicating substantial protein and hop material in suspension. The haziness speaks to a deliberate brewing choice rather than instability.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with thunderous tropical fruit—mango and tangerine dominate—layered beneath a pronounced resinous pine character. Candied grapefruit and citrus zest add brightness, while a faint honeyed sweetness provides backbone without overwhelming the hop-forward profile. Dank herbal notes emerge on deeper inhalation, anchoring the sensory experience.

◐ Taste

The palate enters rich and oily, delivering dense layers of mango, tangerine, and candied grapefruit across the mid-palate. A firm bitterness—measured rather than abrasive—keeps the sweetness grounded and prevents cloying. The full body supports the complexity without feeling heavy, and the malt structure provides subtle honeyed warmth underneath the aggressive hop character.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
