Description
Burdock brewery set up shop in what used to be an old Portuguese chicken restaurant, and they transformed the space into an artist-driven bar/restaurant/music hall/microbrewery run by a group of musicians and music lovers. They offer a rotating list of clean pale ales, complex saisons, crisp pilsners, zippy sours, and beer-wine hybrids that are all brewed in house.

Poured from 250mL can. Hazy blonde with very quickly dissipating white head. Mild brett and lime, light white wine vinous notes. Not a ton of body, a little light. Okay.

Re-rate: Poured from 375mL bottle (pkg April 2021). Ruby red. Gentle raspberry and tannic vinous quality. Very nice blend. July 30, 2022 @ Sardines, Quebec City (8/3/8/3/16=3.8): Poured from 375mL bottle (pkg 20/07/2022). Ruby red with extremely quick dissipating pink head. Lots of raspberry, underlying vinous character rounds everything out, gentle carbonation, very good, but flavours don’t fill out quite as much, the dissipation occurs relatively quickly.
