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.

Bottle: Poured a nice yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light tart notes with loads of grapes notes is quite enticing. Taste is a nice mix of grapes with some tart notes, light residual sugar notes with some oak and a light funky finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable saison with right amount of complexity.

Bottle shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a murky orange straw colour with little life. The aroma is Bretty yeast, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to light sour with a dry bready biscuit dough yeasty, light citrus fruit palate. Medium to light bodied with average soft carbonation.

My last beer in Toronto is: Burdock DIPA 8.3% Double dry-hopped with Idaho 7 and El Dorado hop hash + Vic Secret. I picked up this bottle at the Brewpub 2 days ago. I gotta day this hazy copper beauty smells heavenly with a juicy tangerine and tropical fruits aroma, so fresh so juicy. Fairly full bodied, a bit boozy and dry in the finish but it has good chewy malt notes. The taste is great juicy fruitiness but balanced with a pithy citrus rind in the finish. The is probably one of the better hazy Double IPAs I’ve had due to the rich body as opposed to lots of them having a somewhat thin dry one. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
