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.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Nose is fairly musty and slightly oxidized, with lots of bretty funky, and grape skins. Flavour is nicely vinous, with lots of white grape skins, a little oak, and plenty of funky notes. Vinous, nicely musty, and buggy. Good stuff, but version III was better.

Another drinkable beer. Light lime, picking up that touch of salt. Could kill a bunch of these on a padio.

Poured from 375mL bottle (pkg 11/2018; from Phill). Hazy dull pink-ish orange with small white head. Plums and wild yeast. Nice nose, but the flavour has dissipated a bit on the taste, slightly muted. Still decent.

Pale purple and opaque. Lots of vinous notes, some cherry, and it's tart as well. It's got a lot of the cherry. Tart, a bit tannic. The vinous notes are there a bit, but the cherry definitely predominates.
