Yeah I don't get the love for their ipas or imperials. This one was letdown for me too.J343MY wrote:Bellwoods Boogie Monster.
Clearly Bellwoods hasn't figured out how to brew IIPA's yet. Bitter, astringent, not much in the way of hop aroma or flavour. Witchshark isn't great, but this is even worse. How do you fuck up a beer with simcoe and centenial? i'm not sure.

Not getting it 100% either. A beer like Philips Amnesiac or Avery Maharaja absolutely kills any strongly-hopped IPA of Bellwoods, with great citrus and herbal layers and good complexity. I don't überly care for Witchshark or Roman Candle, they seem malt-heavy and very blunt in style. In fact of all Bellwoods brews I tend to only really like the 'session style' single-hop beers, the saisons, berliner weisse etc. BW are quite good at those! Still I support whatever they do...heebes wrote:Yeah I don't get the love for their ipas or imperials.

I agree that their IPAs are too malt heavy. I love the grain bill they use for the Monogamy series. I wish they would have a regular IPA with that.Belgian wrote:Not getting it 100% either.
