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.

Draft @ ML Fontainas. Couleur dorée, col blanc. Arôme au bouquet plaisant restituant bien le caractère de Tequila. Retrouve des effluves finement boisées avec un côté de moût - malté minime. Palais met bien en avant la Tequila, qui reste cependant difficile à utiliser dans le barrel aging, du moins ce que j’ai déjà pu en goûter. Ici, cela passe bien, retrouve un côté un peu suret et une effervescence faible. Garde une approche des levures sauvages - brett qui reste faible et un côté citrique semble également être amoindri par une certaine douceur de la barrique. Le profil indique un niveau d’alcool qui est plus prononcée que sur une Berliner habituelle.

Bouteille 500ml. Couleur dorée voilée, mousse blanche tenace laissant une superbe dentelle. Arôme de pomélo, malt pâle, zeste de citron, houblon résineux, agrumes trop mûres. Goût de houblon résineux, citron, malt, bonne amertume, touche de levure, petit quelque chose qui me dérange, autant au nez, que je n’arrive pas à identifier. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen.

Bottle at Darren's last night of trip. Hazy amber copper pour. Malty aroma and taste but good rich hoppiness too. Not as good as some of the other beers from Bellwoods maybe but still good.

Monogamy is a usual, a cloudy blond with fluffy white head. Nose is fairly juicy tropical fruits and a little grass. Taste is grassy citrus with a notable bitterness, mild cereal malts supporting the whole deal. The bitter lingers but is not overwhelming. A solid sipper. I like it.

You’ll never really find me craving coffee-infused beers, but I’ll always give the a try and this is a good one. (Plus it was interesting to see what the crew at Bellwoods chose as their favourite homebrew.) An inky black with dark tan head, what you’d expect from a porter, though the head dissipates rather quickly. Nose is heavy on the dark roast coffee, with some mild sweetness that obscures the malts. The taste Is a really well balanced fusion of porter and beer. It certainly doesn’t pull any coffee punches, with a heavy roast without excessive coffee bitterness, with blackberries, as well the porter malt is well-supported in the flavour with more of a caramel richness without any unpleasant burn grain that is so common. Worth the try if you can get some.

Pours a bit of a mucky looking blond with a white head that flattens out fairly quick. Nose of mild orange and hemp. Soft malty flavour with of onions, tangerines, and a little more of that hemp. Well, I don’t want to really bath in this one. I’ve had number 1 (meh), number 2 (suds me up), and now 5. (Sorry 3 and 4 maybe you’ll come back.) Try it, especially, if you’re interested in Bellwood’s process. VOTE 2!
