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 at DC Epic Sour Tasting 2014, courtesy of solidfunk, thank you sir! Hazy amber maroon color. Fruity aroma. Taste is sour and a bit medicinal. OK.

Rated on June 7th, 2014. Pours clear amber, nice foam. Aroma is strongly tropical, silky hop pillow that is supported by a pile of malts - and where youc an also find some mangos, peaches and mandarines. Sweet fruits come forward also in taste, first sip takes all those aromas through your throat, increasing this pleasant sensation. Clear and well-balanced, with a necessary hop-bite. Excellent example of a North American double IPA!

Rated on June 7th, 2014. Pours dark brown with a nice beige foam head. Aroma improves while the beer warms, has roast chocolate, toffee and has a good hop bite. Taste has several levels. The first sip is hop-bitter and nicely carbonated, then it evolves into nice long roast flavour. Excellent balance, long bitter chocolate aftertaste. Truly enjoyable.

Bottle - Slight urine, grass and lemon. Hazy gold with a white head. Grassy bitterness, lemon and an odd sweetness. No the greatest hop variety.

Bottle from the brewery, 6.8% served in a wine glass, it has a wonderfully balanced hop bouquet earthy woodsy herbal my sister says it has a bit of a stinky cheese quality to it and after she said it I could see it. The taste is a sweet balance between the malts and hops great tasty stuff my family loved it.

Pour golden clear with a pink tone, half a finger of white. Fluffy head. Hops nose, resiny, might be summit which is not a favourite, some soft fruit, and grassy malt. Taste prominently of resin hops with bitterness, light on pallet without tasting watery, little fruit and grassy malt, but overshadowed. Drinkable but not a favourite.
