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.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Nose reveals mixed wild yeast, some gentle funk, and rustic saison yeast. Flavour is grainy, with plenty of rustic saison yeast, some wild bugs, wheaty notes, and toasted grains. Nice yeast profile to this, finishing gently tart. Relatively complex and nicely crafted. Good stuff.

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite dank, with lots of dank hops, a little citrus, and a touch of chewy yeast. Flavour has pretty good clarity, with dank hops, some musty grape skins, a light earthiness, and biscuity malt. Nicely dank, nicely musty. Very well-made.

Quite pale, a bit of cloudiness, Smells like hing, and maybe some stone fruit. Gentle acidity and very soft body, I really like that stone fruit note, the softness, but it doesn't come together that much.
