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.

355ml can. (4.5% ABV) Pours a slightly hazy blonde with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Sweet aroma of crackery pale malt, grapefruit, yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of crackery pale malt, grapefruit, lime, lemon, light grass and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, crushable and full of flavour. Very citrusy.

This has a nice pinkish colour. There's a nice vinous note, and a touch of brett. On the palate, it's got some nice bitterness and a complex vinous note. I like this one a lot.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Nose is full of red wine grape skins, some rustic saison yeast, and musty vinous notes. Flavour is really musty, with lots of musty grape skins, rustic notes, bone dry oak, and more vinous notes. Lovely musty, vinous, grape skins. Excellent.

Bottle: Poured a purple color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and not much lacing. Aroma of huge vinous notes with some oak and light tannin. Taste is also very much focus in vinous notes with some strong Cabernet notes coming out, light art notes with some tannin and oak also perceptible. Body is pretty full with good carbonation. This is almost closer to wine then beer. Enjoyable experience.

375mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with white grape skins, some horse blanket, and barnyard funk. Flavour is complex, with a really nice barnyard funk character, plenty of leather, white grape skins, grape must, and oak barrels. Funky, dry, and vinous. Excellent.
