Dandy Brewing / Bellwoods Brewery Hells Bells – American IPA at 5.8% ABV (C$5.26 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 6-Oct-2025, reviewed 13-Oct-2025)
Appearance: clear pale amber with one fat finger of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: tropical & stone fruits, zesty citrus, cereal grains. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-soft carbonation, sweetish lingering hop burn bitter finish. (3/5)
“Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron, Rakau, and Loral hops” Tends a bit sweeter than I’d like, and despite that has a somewhat bitter finish with unexpected levels of hop burn. Not the level I’d expect for Bellwoods, but pretty much par for the course for Dandy. (14/20)
This will be my 6,236th unique Untappd check-in.
