Description
Bellwoods Brewery began as a small brewpub in the west end of Toronto in 2012, and underwent a couple modest growth spurts over the years to encompass two retail shops (selling fresh cans and bottles), and a production brewery in North York (mostly to house The Foeder Pyramid). These days, we produce about 18,000hL a year, which is a mere blip in the grand scheme of Ontario beer, but keeps us pretty busy. The styles we’re interested in brewing range greatly, and we always remain open to new ways of making beer. For the most part, our current efforts are devoted to aromatic hoppy stuff, crisp lagers, barrel aged wild blends, fruit-forward zingers, and the occasional barrel aged stout. There’s always a new, creative project waiting in the wings. We’re still a relatively small, collaborative team, forever dedicated to the pursuit of perfect beer–thanks so much for partaking in the fruits of our labour.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy pale yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some peachy tropical hops notes and a super dry finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with some peachy tropical notes and a super dry finish. Body is full for style with a creamy feel with good carbonation. Enjoyable IPA with nice juicy notes but a dry finish.

Draft: Poured a clear golden yellow color lager with a large white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some light dry hoppy notes and faint residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of clean cereal notes with some faint floral dry hoppy notes and a mostly semi-dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Great lager with excellent drinkability that hopefully will be brewed often.

Bottle from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. Opaque, dark brown, light viscosity, ephemeral cap of head fading to a ring, no lacing. Aroma is earthy malt, anise, berries, hint of baked cookies/vanilla. Taste is strong berries, earthy malt, biscuit, late vanilla. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Am super pleased that this has held up over 8 years. Is there something to be said for beers that are brewed with traditional ingredients and a barrel vs. tons of adjuncts that may well fade?

22 oz bottle shared by tfontana. Thank you! Vintage 2018. Aroma is smoky, char, sweet cognac. Flavor follows. Some sweet cognac throughout the sip with char, chocolate, and oak. Shows very weak blackberries. A decent array of flavors. No booze. Held up well!
