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 from The Gull shared with Farees and Jamey. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is very complex, similar to Belgian Lambics, with barrel and fruity notes. Similar complex taste with a very complex aftertaste. This one of the most complex WIld Ales I've ever had at the moment. Incredible!

Bottle - Lots of tropical notes, soured lemon and petroleum complexity. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Very light on the acidity and tons of fruit and funk. Long finish. Very nice, maybe some more acidity to balance but great nonetheless.

Hazy and pinkish. A bit fruity, nice yeasty complexity with a dry, tart, woody character. The grapes are nice in this one. They lend a fun sweetness in the finish, but also carry that nice yeastiness and a dry, firm biscuity maltiness. Pretty tasty stuff.

Cloudy, straw. Not much head. On the nose, this is fruity, gotta think there's a bit of brett in there. Fruity, yeasty...lots of fun. Very soft malts, and berries. Delicate beer that is also full of flavour.
