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 bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus, tart cherries, saison yeast, and light floral hopping. Flavour is loaded with faded pithy tart cherries upfront, with a big saison yeast character, and light pithiness in general. Nice incorporation of tart cherries and saison yeast. Moderately aggressive carbonation that is fitting. Very good.

Hazy, quite pale. The aroma has a touch of musty yeastiness, and a fair bit of guava. On the palate, it's got a lot of guava, with light tartness. Definitely happy with this beer. Balance, character, and a bit unique.

Flavour is along the same lines, with tons of pithy guava, saison yeast, and tart citrus skins. Wonderful tropical guava notes, with a dry pithy finish. Excellent.

(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, Jan 19/18) Pours cola coloured with a small tan head. Aroma is intense fresh jammy raspberry, sweet cherry, red wine, dusty cacao, oak. Flavour of cran-raspberry juice, toasty malt, wood, dusty grains, cacao, tannins, raspberry seeds, oak, jam, slightly tart red wine. Slightly below medium bodied and softly carbonated, hides its ABV completely. Really nice, good fruity dark sour that didn't fall off the edge or roastiness or balsamico, with big fruit character a bonus.
