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.

Cloudy, not much head. Fairly pale. Touch of brett on the yeasty, slightly dusty aroma. On the palate, it’s dryish, dusty, has a nice earthy continental hop character, and again just a slight touch of brett. Good, balanced saison.

500mL bottle, explodes a little upon opening, pours a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is heavily funky, with loads of barnyard funk, along with some regular saison yeast, a touch of fruitiness and a hint of black pepper. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of lovely, effervescent barnyard funk, farmhouse yeast, some fruitiness and a little pepper. Nice and fruity, with a wonderful funky character. Excellent.
