Well, Bellwoods Brewing's Bellweiser beer is meant to parody an insanely famous beer out of the United States that uses horses from a farm near where I was born and raised in Western Manitoba as their image, you know exactly what I’m talking about, but the beer is completely different.. and this beer is honestly much better.
Bellweiser described by their website: Bellweiser is our take on an ‘old world’ pilsner, showcasing a pale malt body, firm bitter backbone, and noble-esque hops. The dry-hop on this one is almost non-existent to make room for lots of yeast-derived aromatics, and the resulting beer crosses off all the "crisp", "clean", and "refreshing" boxes you need it to.
Brewed with a neutral yeast, allowing the subtle interplay of hops and malt to shine through. Light floral aromatics, soft bitterness in the finish, easy to drink.
Appearance: Incredibly clear to the point that it looks like a macro-lager to me, but this is exactly what it’s trying to be. There’s a tad bit of foam on top but it diminishes pretty quickly so it looks like a white wine than a beer to me..
Aroma: Sweet, a bit of honey, straw, slightly floral, a bit of cracker, lemon, slightly toasted malt.
Taste: Decently sweet with a honey presence to it, a grassy and slightly bitter hop presence, a bit of straw, hint of lemon, oh and a slight bready doughiness at the very end.
Overall Thoughts: Yeah, this isn’t your father/grandfather/brother’s macro lager, this is definitely more aggressive in every aspect but it’s also incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Will I ever order 24 cans of this to be delivered to my door here in Manitoba? It’s pretty effing likely, this is patio-worthy and taste better than what it’s supposed to be parodying.
