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 lcbo. Hazy yellow, medium white head. Nice dose of citrus zest, and pine resins. Mouth feel and carb are solid. Light to medium bitterness. It's good, but nothing special. I feel like I've had this ever from Bellwoods 25 times.

Cloudy purple pour, with a large reddish/pink head. Aroma is tart cherries, and some raspberry notes. Quite jammy, but not sweet, a nice tart, lactic punch. Good mouth feel, lively carb, light to medium bitterness. Semi dry, cherry finish, with more fruity tartness.

Bottle from the brewery. Cloudy yellow pour, with a large white head. Aroma is funky, tart, loaded with guava and grapefruit notes, simply sublime. Mouth feel and carb are spot on. Finish is medium tart, funky, barnyard notes mingling with tart, pithy guava, and grapefruit zest. Exquisite.

Can from the brewery. Clear yellow pour, with a large white head. Aroma is earthy, chamomille really comes through, and there is some lemon zest notes. Good mouth feel, and carb. Finish is lightly bitter chamomille is still present and mingles well with the citrus notes. Really nice, crisp and refreshing.
