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.

500ml (thx, Chris S., for forwarding the box!) @ 🏡 shared with Alex.
Aroma: bold, moderately sweet, a lot of oak, some leather.
Taste: along the same lines, very thick, some berries character, a lot of American oak.
Overall: good, but it has artificially created thickness that's not great.

Hazy pinkish pour with a large white head. Aroma is vinoisz grapes and big grapefruit. Lovely, and sharp mouth feel, carb is bright, and crisp. Medium bitter, grapey, and citrusy at the same time. Quite nice.
