Hazy and pale, medium Pale and slight haze. Medium head. Big cedar aroma, as advertised. Toasty aroma with lots of brett, good body, a touch of brett C but then the tannic assertive cedar takes over through the finish. Top quality.

Dark brown with a thin head. Chocolate and mint, grapefruit. It’s got a good hop bitterness hit also this candied orange sweetness that brings this across the palate well.

Dark brown. Not much head. This has some beautiful umami, I mean Bellwoods does have one of the best base impies in Canada, and it shines here. The foeder lends only a touch of tannin, there isn't any wildness or anything. It's just an impy aged in a neutral barrel. Gets lighter than some other Bellwoods, but maintains malt complexity. But that's the point, bring some oak to a good base.

Bright gold. Medium head. Sticky sweet but also a decent herbal hop, touch of weed and a hint of citrus. Want to dry this out a bit.

Dark brown. Nitro head. Toasty, slightly nutty aroma. Ok, a bit muted from the nitro, but civilized.
