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.

On Tap at Spacecraft in Sudbury, Ontario.
Hazy pour, very lightly colored, large white head. Aroma is quite herbal, with some nice grains. I can't put my finger on exactly what the herbs might be. i'm getting some mint, and juniper, with some green tea, and fresh grass. mouth feel is bright, and crisp. Finish is lightly bitter, very clean, and refreshing.

Cask Days 2018. Hazy yellow pour, medium white head. Very grassy, with some solid citrus notes, but not too in your face. Its mingling very well with the cereals, and pale malts. Very well balanced, with a lovely floral finish, and light to medium bitterness. refreshing, and crisp, slightly dry, great stuff.

Tap at the brewpub. Aroma of citrusy hops, green hop cones, and some nice overly ripe stone fruit, and hints of freshly cut grass, and aloe. Mouth feel and carb are standard, a little over the top if anything. Finish is lightly bitter, medium tartness, very green, and fruity, with a solid tartness. Nice stuff.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is very citrusy, big grapefruit, and strong orange character. Mouth feel is full for an ipa, carb was soft. Finish is soft also, light bitterness tropical fruit, and lots of sticky green hop cones. Incredibly hoppy,,but also soft at the same time. It doesnt smash you over the head, surprising by the amount of hops in here.
