Bellwoods Brewery Goosehead – Pilsner at 4.8% ABV (C$7.75 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 24-Jul-2025, reviewed 31-Jul-2025)
Appearance: slightly hazy straw with one fat finger of pillowy white head, excellent retention and well-defined soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: grass, citrus, honey malt, light minerality. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, moderate bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, crisp short duration finish. (4/5)
I don’t often say this about Pilsners, but: that’s seriously good stuff. That being said, it’s hardly surprising that it’s Bellwoods that’s causing me to say it. And it turns out there’s this thing called the “Canadian Pilsner Project” aiming for 100% Canadian ingredients, which this has: Alberta malt, Escarpment Labs Isar yeast, and Saaz from BC’s Myrtle Meadows. I call that a bonus! (16/20)
This will be my 6,170th unique Untappd check-in.
