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.

Can from the brewery. Hazy orang, with a small white head. Aroma is a well balanced combo of the guava and passion fruit, with a light tarntness. Mouth feel is good, carb is soft. Finish is where the cereals shine. And balance the fruit and tart Ness very well.

Bottle from the brewery. Hazy reddish pi k pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is cherries, strawberry short cavke, tary cherries, jolly ranchers, and canned cherry pie filling. Mouthfeel is spot on, carb is fantastic. Finish is lightly tart, light bitterness, cherry pie filling. Bright and crisp, super refreshing, cherries and light citrus zest, and light vinous notes with some dark currants. Great stuff.
