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.

Ok but Im rarely a fan of raspberry beers. Pours cloudy red with good head and lacing. Mostly sour aftertaste with some sweetness. Some barnyard aromas. Aroma of berries and malt. Soft carbonation. Tap at brewpub.

A hazed amber ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, nice pungent floral hops, piney and resinous, over citrus and biscuit malt. In mouth, a dry grassy malt with sharp British hops, grassy and puckering, but overall nice.

A hazed light yellowish blonde with a thin white head. In aroma, a smooth lactic malt with light fruity notes, decent. In mouth, a smooth creamy fruity malt with lactic acid and peated malt, refreshing.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size dirty brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of dry bitter roasted malt with some black chocolate notes with very subtle Cognac notes. Taste is also dominated by dry bitter roasted malt notes with sweet undertones and black chocolates notes with light warming Cognac notes. Body is full with oily-like texture with good carbonation. Enjoyable though Cognac doesn’t really come out as much as I had anticipated.

Initial smell of hibiscus is very nice. Aroma has light orange and citrus hops, a little malt. Pours light pinkish with good head and lacing. Finishes is nice, well-balanced with bitter perfume. Some sourness as well. Great. Bottle from Bellwoods.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy, opaque pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings tons of soft pine and floral notes, like a fresh meadow, with some crackery malt in the back. Flavour brings out loads of floral notes, again like a fresh meadow, some mild citrus, and biscuity malt. Very fresh, floral and dry on the palate. Highly drinkable pale. Great stuff.

Nice original beer here. Follows the whole white ipa trend and does a better job than most i’ve tried so far. Pours cloudy password good lacing and head. Citrus hops on nose with some florals and yeast. Lively carbonation. Finishes slightly bitter with an almost minty tang. On tap at Bellwoods.

Bouteille 750ml, courtoisie de Johnsense. De couleur noire-brune et opaque. Nez de malt très rôti, légèrement brûlé et aux notes terreuses, de chocolat noir, léger de chocolat au lait (faibles notes lactiques), léger de mélasse avec des notes d’alcool, de fruits foncés, de noix et de café. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture riche, légèrement sirupeuse et aux notes crémeuses. Léger goût fruité (pruneaux, traces de raisins) accompagné de notes de chocolat au lait (traces lactiques) et de réglisse noire lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt assez rôti et légèrement brûlé avec un goût de chocolat noir et un léger goût de mélasse terreuse. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un léger goût d’alcool réchauffant auquel se rajoute progressivement une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (notes de menthe) ainsi qu’un léger goût de café, jusqu’en finale. Post-goût long, léger-moyen amer de rôti (notes brûlées), moyen-léger d’alcool et de chocolat noir, léger de houblon herbeux avec des notes de noix et de café.
