Tasting Notes
refreshingSpicyTart
One of Canada’s most prolific craft breweries to pop up in the last decade – Bellwoods continues to impress and amaze anyone who can get their hands on a bottle. Over the years they’ve gone from lineups around the block at their Ossington ave. location, to opening a second much larger brewery, complete with rows and rows of barrels for mixed fermentation and dark beer ageing. So far in the Canadian craft beer scene, not many other breweries have made as many waves as Bellwoods.
Tasting Notes
This limited edition Jelly King was dosed with lime juice (for extra zesty acidity), fresh habañero peppers (for a balanced kick of spice), and salt (duh). The resulting heat level is *perfect* — gets your attention but doesn’t set your mouth on fire.
Method
Rather than choosing between sour or hoppy, Bellwoods created a beer that would be both at the same time. Showcasing the aromatic benefits of a generous dry hop (Citra, Amarillo, and Cascade), harnessing the pleasing acidity of lactic acid producing bacteria (using a 5-strain house blend), and coming to a bottle near you without a pesky 2 year slumber in oak, Jelly King is the fermented embodiment of having your cake and eating it too.
