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, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy opaque golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of floral dry hopping upfront and lacto. Flavour is quite fruity and floral, with lots of lacto, light stone fruitiness, and floral notes. Very lacto-y, with a floral and fruity finish. Decent.
