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.

Bottled, thanks Ottawa friends. Hazy pale golden, no head. Mildly funky cider aroma. Tart with medium body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel, underlying sweetness. Apple must, minerals notes of marzipan. Interesting.

375mL bottle, pours an opaque cloudy murky pink with a small off-pink head. Aroma is very complex, with loads of pinot noir upfront, with plenty of brett, heaps of raspberries, and oak. Lots of fruity, brett and oak in good cohesion. Really nice.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to New Ken. Pours unclear brown with a creamy, tan head. Acetic, rich, lots of leathery berry character. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Tart berry finish, a little more acetic twang. Really solid.
