While Bellwoods is often synonymous with hazy IPAs and wild sours, this beer showcases their ability to master delicate, yeast-driven styles. It is designed to be the \"ideal sunny-day sipper\" a crisp, elegant hybrid that strikes a perfect balance between the fruitiness of an ale and the clean finish of a lager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeer Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Kölsch pours a brilliant, translucent pale gold with a soft, frothy white head and lively carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose is subtle, pretty, and highly aromatic. It leads with a distinct white wine-like minerality, followed by delicate notes of chamomile, fresh rain, and wildflower honey. It lacks the heavy \"hoppy\" punch of a Pale Ale, focusing instead on the sophisticated esters produced by the yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the tongue, it is light-bodied and remarkably refreshing. It leads with a soft, crackery malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a complex profile of crisp pear, green apple, and a touch of herbal tea. The mouthfeel is famously \"clean,\" with a dry, mineral-driven finish that is both quenching and sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a highly sessionable ABV of 4.5% and a very low, rounded bitterness that stays in the background, allowing the yeast and malt to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e The heart of this beer is the Pink Boots Kölsch yeast strain (a Kölsch-specific strain with deep German roots provided by Escarpment Labs). This yeast is responsible for the signature \"winey\" minerality and fruit esters. It is brewed with high-quality pilsner malt and lightly hopped with traditional varieties to maintain its Old World character while delivering a \"modern\" level of technical polish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300877 - Untapped Craft Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42603654152279,"sku":"130678","price":151.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2479\/4148\/files\/Bellwoods-Kolsch-473-ml.jpg?v=1773343968","url":"https:\/\/zyn.ca\/products\/bellwoods-kolsch-473-ml-24-cans","provider":"ZYN THE WINE MARKET LTD.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
