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.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of Belgian yeast, fruity esters, some alcohol and candied sugar. Flavour is more like a tripel, with candied sugar, alcohol and fruity esters. Again, more like a tripel than a saison. Not overly authentic or complex, and it gets cloying after a while. Not my thing. Disappointing.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of cheesy funk, barnyard notes and light piney hops. Flavour brings out a huge lovely funk quality, dominating everything else. Light bittering hops and dry biscuity malt on the finish. Excellent.

Bottle - Creamy mango. Cloudy gold with a small white. Light mango notes and some tartness with a clean finish. Mango flavours aren’t classic, but subtle and nice.

Hazy tan. Not much head. The aroma is mostly mango, showing some tartness. On the palate, tart, touch yeasty, light mango taste. Balance between mango sweetness and lactic tartness leans more towards the acidity.

Cloudy blond color with no head. Delicate mango aroma. Dry mouthfeel, a bit salty, moderately sour, wheat bread, light fruit, but nothing impressive.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy mango yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out juicy mangoes upfront, with a touch of lacto further back. Flavour is quite juicy, with fresh mangoes, some earthy notes, and light lacto. Not as juicy as the Strawberry Rhubarb, but it works very well. Nice stuff.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of strawberries upfront, followed by light lacto and some juiciness. Flavour is super juicy, with loads of strawberries and rhubarb dominating. Juicy, lacto-y on the finish. Very nice.

Cloudy pale color with an orange shade. Very nice aroma, apple/rhubarb pie, doughy bread. Light and weak, but with a good degree of lemony acidity, light fruits, and a bread dough touch that shouldn’t be there but doesn’t disturb too much.
Pleasant.
