Bottle: Poured a pink/light purple-ish color ale with a medium size bubbly head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some fruity gamay notes. Taste is also a mix of fruity Gamay notes with some tart notes and light oak presence. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable grape based saison but more grapes would have been even better.

Purplish and hazy, thin head. Bright vinous, mild tartness, it has that lightness of body that Burdock typically has. But there's great complexity here, really leans back to the prime of Burdock.

375mL bottle, pours a dark amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is full of musty grape skins, plenty of bugs, and light oak. Flavour has a nice buggy character, lots of vinous notes, grape skin, and rustic notes. A bit acidic, with a buggy, vinous finish. Good.

375mL bottle. Pours murky raspberry colour with a white head. Lots of funky grape skins, cinnamon, and dark cherries on the nose. Flavour has musty grape skins, cherries, gentle must. Very nice.
