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.

First brew from this brewery at Lupulus for my first time. Hazy golden-orange with a white cap that disappears quickly with minimal lace. Mango aromas with oranges, hints of saltiness and pineapples. Nice sourness in the taste, over tropical fruits notes. Mild grass in the finish with minimal salts. A nice fruity, not too juicy, more sour NE-style Pale Ale.
