Description
Beachwood Blendery is a small batch beer producer established in 2014 by the same creative minds behind the award winning Beachwood Brewing. Beachwood Blendery has embarked on an undoubtedly geeky quest to recreate the Lambic style beers of Belgium. Our beers are produced using ingredients, equipment, and brewing methods that are both steeped in tradition and admittedly modern.

On tap at Bottlecraft - Little Italy, pours a clear copper yellow with a medium white head. Aroma has plenty of black pepper, plenty of funk and a little leather — not passable as an authentic gueuze though. Flavour is much the same, with dry leather, black pepper, some funk, and a hint of tart citrus. Complex and well-blended. Again, not lambic-like but it does strike some notes in common and it's an excellent blended wild ale.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is muscat, some floral, tart wooden and mild citrusy tones. Flavour is muscat, a bit vineous, tart fruits, wood and some mild herbal tones. Very nice dry palate to it. Makes you long for another sip.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pale yellow colour with some haze, no head. Aroma is very bretty, dry fruits, mild spices and some dry wood. Flavour is big brett, some spiciness, mild dry not-too-sweet fruitiness with some herbs as well. Nicely dry/tart palate. Aroma is top notch for the style.

Hazy, medium head. Earthy nose, port, leather, some woody notes, nice little rounded raisiny port note, soft acidity, pale malt base, this comes together really well.

Medium body, oily texture. Lightly astringent. Quite sweet, honey and ripe apricot. Bitter orange juice. Bready, funky, barnyard flavour. Moderate bitterness. Some harsh spicy notes in the finish, refreshing. Good balance.
