1676 | Bellwoods Jelly King (Strawberry Rhubarb) | Canada | Wild Ale | 2.9
Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 500ml bottle <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Bottled On: June 4, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> August 23, 2021<br> $7.50<br> The beer pours an extremely hazed medium gold colour, reddish highlights, with a thin white head that eventually becomes a ring. The lacing is decent . The aroma is cereal malts, tart fruits, and yeast. Not a lot of hop aroma here. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grassy malt, tart fruit, and yeast. The beer describes itself as Strawberry Rhubarb but I detect neither in the aroma or the flavour and having made dozens of Strawberry Rhubarb pies over the years, I know strawberry rhubarb quite well. |
