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 bottle. Slightly cloudy, red colour with average, dense, firm, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, minimally pink-ish, white head. Sweet-ish fruity and mildly bretty aroma, pale and minimally wheaty malty background, notes of raspberry pulp, a minimally earthy touch of raspberry, whiffs of hubba bubba bubblegum. Taste is tart, tangy and yeasty funky, slightly fruity, pale and minimally wheaty malty with low residual sweetness, hints of raspberry, fruit acid, a touch of citric acid.
Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously quite astringent and slightly dry palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
Relatively simple and monotonous, restrained fruitiness, too aggressive tartness - OK.

0.473l can from No Frills, Toronto. Aroma of mango, passion fruit and grapefruit. Pours clear straw color with thin creamy white head, nice lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy citrusy and mild tropical fruity, following is mild sweet malty and floral, mouthfeel is crisp, while finish is mild bitter. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Refreshing and tasty, no problem about alcohol missing…

A can randomly bought for me for Father's day. Pils, and light beers, aren't my typical choices, but Bellwoods is always a good to try. This one is a can crusher. A light version on their typical Paper Tiger. Light, crisp, bright, hay malt. Fairly dry. Vague bitterness on the finish. Decent mouthfeel for a 3.2. Overall good if this is in your wheelhouse. Bought from Tommy's Wine Bar, on Dundas in Toronto.

Hazy and pale. Thin head. Light and bretty, with some yeatiness, and also a fairly bitter profile with somewhat clunky sweet and yeasty pale malts. Fairly woody. Solid product.
