About
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.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear yellow with a whit head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grass and a hint of light pine with straw and hay supporting. Flavor has more straw with grass underlying and a bit of sweet grain backing.

Can: Poured a golden color lager with a medium size white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of cereal and residual sugar notes. Taste is a mix of cereal with some light dry hoppy notes with some residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable bit sweeter than I was expecting.

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.
