Shadowclock
Shadowclock is a pilsner from Burial Beer Co., based in Asheville, North Carolina — a brewery better known for its darker, heavier offerings, making this bright lager a compelling departure. It pours a clear, pale golden straw with a fine, white head that lingers with quiet persistence. The aroma is crisp and inviting, offering delicate floral hops, fresh grain, and a subtle herbal edge characteristic of the style. On the palate, it delivers clean bready malt alongside a restrained but precise bitterness, keeping the body light and refreshing. The finish is dry, mineral, and satisfyingly brief — a pilsner that respects tradition while carrying the thoughtful craft sensibility Burial brings to everything it brews.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Shadowclock
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
