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: Poured a light hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus hoppy notes with some floral and fruity hops notes also distinguishable. Taste is also dominated by tropical fruit hops with some citrus and floral hoppy notes and limited bitterness. Body is full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very good interpretation of the style with limited bitterness.

What better than another tripel from the wooden bell? Hits my soft spot for tripels. A little boozier, ballsier and clovier than the Fortune Cookie, but not sure if it’s necessarily better. Pours cloudy light orange with good head and lacing. Some sweet malt and perfumy florals, Belgian yeast also in aroma with the aforementioned. Finishes a little sweet, a touch of sourness oddly pronounced for style and some bitterness. Tap at brewpub.

Piney top but chinook doesnt showxase as well as some of the previous monogamies. Pours cloudy light orange with good lacing and head like the otheres. Palate finish is a bit lighter here than the others. Taste and aroma dont go as far. Still has that nice monogamy bite to it. A superior pale ale, just not a superior bellwoods monogamy. Tap at brewpub.

Purchased at Bellwoods in Toronto, ON, enjoyed on a deck while grilling with friends in Chicago. Appearance is a hazy gold with a thin white head. Aroma of coriander, spice, yeast, hay, smell is decent. Taste goes down dry, spice comes through, decent stuff.

Purchased at Bellwoods in Toronto, ON, enjoyed in Chicago and shared with friends. Awesome stuff. Appearance is a cloudy amber gold with a thin white head. Aroma is a great citrus / weed smell...not sure any other way to describe this. Taste is similar to the aroma, great flavor.

(Draught at Barhop) Poured what appeared to be cloudy black with a decent-sized dense, creamy tan head (nitro?), left a carpet of lace. Aroma is roasted malt, light cocoa/coffee, slight nuttiness, just a bit of leafy hops. Flavour follows the nose, with added creamy flavour/texture, a hint of sweetness with the toasty malt up front but largely dry, slight sour hints (lactic?), finish is slightly chalky, a bit of leafy hop bitterness along with the roast. Light but creamy body with soft carb leads to a much fuller mouthfeel, but still fairly crisp and really easy to drink. Can’t believe the ABV given the flavour. This is a great dry stout with food, what Guinness should be.

Dark chocolate and roast malt dominate this beer. Pours black with good hedge and lace. Soft carbonation. Some nut and light musk in finish. Sour and a little bitter in equal parts. Well done. Tap at brewpub.
