Bellwoods Brewery Jelly King Strawberry Rhubarb – Sour / Wild Ale at 5.6% ABV (C$11.38 at Collective, 500 ml, packaged on 6-Jun-2021, acquired 6-Aug-2021, reviewed 13-Aug-2021)
Appearance: hazy deep gold with two fat fingers of fine pale ivory head, good retention and minimal soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, field berries, rhubarb, stone fruit, wood, hint of band-aid. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high tart, moderate sweet, low bitter. (8/10) Medium-light body, lively carbonation, off-dry short duration tart finish. (4/5)
I’ve previously said that the only variant of this I’ve had where the adjunct actually worked with the base character was the Guava. Well, this one does too – largely. There’s a hint of band-aid upon warming, but just a hint. Other than that, it’s quite pleasant, and a little reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb pie. (16/20)
This will be my 4,998th unique Untappd check-in.
