Love the idea behind the Monogamy beers. Bellwoods is giving us a clear shot at what we’re tasting I like that. I also learned that I don’t like Summit Hops. Wondered what that weird, what I called, off flavour, was in this or that beer. Apparently it’s was Summit. Good to know. So it poured golden and clear with some white head which reduces to nothing. The nose is lots of resin and a touch of pine. Similar notes on the taste, the resin hops is a little like a overly warm-brewed off flavours. I didn’t love this beer. But that’s okay I’ve learned something too. I’ll look forward to the next Monogamy and the new Bellwoods location, congrats! Thanks!

On tap at the brewery. A lightly cloudy straw gold. Big resinous, oily weed aroma - pungent. The taste is very savoury, incredibly herbal almost oregano and resinous weed flavor. Supremely balanced.

Bottle from the brewery. Hzy pale gold with small white head that fades to a sheet leaving fine lace. Big citrusy and lemon nose with hints of flowers and pepper. Light sweet malt front that balances the moderately bitter and lightly spicy middle. Lots of grapefruit, lemon and resin in a medium dry finish. Mouth is on the light side of medium with active carbonation. Quite enjoyable single hop.

A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light catty and sulfur notes. In mouth, a good crisp biscuit malt with pungent grassy floral hops, light sulfur and funk, very nice.

(650mL bomber from the brewery, bottled Feb 12 2013, consumed 11 days later) Poured a slightly hazy light yellow gold with a huge persistent head of white foam, no lace. Aroma dank, grassy, citrus and tropical fruit, great hoppy nose. Flavour hop-forward as well, tropical fruit, grassy, juicy citrus over very light crackery malt, almost no sweetness. Fades into a dry, moderately bitter grapefruit pith finish from the hops. Body is fairly light, carb was soft after that massive head, very dry overall. Hop-forward and quenching with little malt character, I think this is exactly what an APA should be. Needs more summer weather!

Lots of citrus smell here. Pours with big head that dies down quick but leaves lots of lacing. Kind of a golden hue. Theres a lot of marmalade bitter without the sugar here. Some straw and a little barnyard, but not as strong as the petal pusher I just had in that sense. Bitterness hangs around for a while on the palate. Id say the smell is much more promising than the follow through on taste here, great aroma but medium palate.
