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 from the brewery.
Hazy yellow pour, with a small white head. Aroma is lactic, ligth tartness, hints of citrus, but the mouth feel just falls flat. It's thin, really watery, and there is an odd tartness that I would compare to pickle juice going on in the finish. An odd tart kind of salinity. Not terrible, but a little odd.

Aromas are citrusy, and quite light, grassy, maybe some melon. Mouth feel is super thin, and the carb is too tight. Finish is thin, and this is where the beer fall flat on its face. The finish is very dry, thin, and there is zero finish.
