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.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy pale yellow color with an orange shade. Very nice aroma of stone fruits. Dry, weak body, moderate acidity, hint of stone fruit, peachy, and a mild astringency in the end.
Nice.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of hay upfront, subdued plums and citrus zest. Flavour is very lightly tart for a berliner, with subdued plums, citrus, and a touch of lacto. Very mild tartness on the finish. Nothing overly impressive, but it's refreshing and lightly puckering.

Bottle: Poured alight blonde color ale with a nice large pure white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light plum notes with discreet residual sugar notes and some tart notes are also perceptible. Taste is a refreshing mix of light plum notes with some discreet residual sugar notes and some tart notes. Body is about average with great carbonation. Solid beer with nice refreshing features.
