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.

Bottle from the brewery. Clear yellow pour, with a large quickly dissipating white head. Aroma while there is still head is dank, and pungent, and it smoothes out to a funky, acidic Sauvignon blanc vinous, grapey note. Lots of acidity, and citrus fruit. Minerals, pungent, earthy floral Hops, this is quite the beer white wine Cross over.

Can ordered online from the brewery, canned on June 9th 2022, a week old. Opaque smoothie pour, deep orange beige pour, with a small orange head. Aroma is peach nectar, ripe peach flesh and light vanilla notes. Mouth feel is thick, well it's a called a smoothie and it lives up to it. Finish is light to medium tart, hints of apple, and vanilla with a ripe peach flesh, and lingering vanilla end.

Can ordered online from the brewery. Canned may 30th 2022. Hazy orange pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is white wine acidic, grass, citrus oil, and zest. Light mouth feel, light carb. Low bitterness, pale cereals really come through with the grassy citrus notes. Light white wine vinous acidity. Interesting.

Hazy yellow, small white head. Super sweet fruity aroma. Passion fruit and stone fruit abound. Low bitterness, citrus, and sweet tropical notes. Not much in way of a sour ipa going on.

Can from the brewery. Hazy yellow, with a large white head. Tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus zest, with a lactic tangy. Not overly sour, just enough. Decent sour ipa, nice tropical, juicy notes, but at the end of the day, nothing special really.
