Ok, I've not posted in a long time partly due to fatherhood but also as Google decided to discontinue their blogger app (did they ever replace it?). Anyways, in June I went to Toronto for a family wedding and picked up  Bu Woo at Bellwoods Hafis Rd location and then when I was at Burdock I saw they had their own version in 375ml bottles. I'm a sucked for collaborations so I had to pick both up.

I brought them to Japan and shared them with a fellow Beer Lover in Kyoto.

Burdock x Buwoo 6.1%

A cloudy peach juice milky color with a sour tart Riesling grape and plum aroma. Full bodied with a round carbonation and tart flavor but it goes down smoothly.

Bellwoods x Burdock Buwoo 6.4%

Green Tea & Mango BA Sour Ale

It has an incredible mango aroma that is like freshly diced/cubes mango or purée. Very round soft prickly carbonation with lots acidity and tartness plus tons of mango. Very drinkable though I don’t see any sign of the aforementioned green tea. 

Those Bu Woo were good but not stellar, burdocks had more going on but didn’t stand out while the Bellwoods tasted better but was mostly mango.
