Bellwoods Goosehead Pilsner 473 ml - 24 Cans
Goosehead is a specialized "Canadian Pilsner" from Toronto’s Bellwoods Brewery, created as part of the Canadian Pilsner Project initiated by True History Brewing. While their flagship Bellweiser is a tribute to Old World traditions, Goosehead is an intentionally patriotic brew. The goal was to create a world-class pilsner using 100% Canadian ingredients from the grain to the hops to the yeast and celebrating the quality of homegrown agriculture with the technical precision Bellwoods is known for.
Beer Description
Goosehead pours a brilliant, pale straw-blonde with a fluffy, persistent white head and a bright, clear appearance.
Aroma: The nose is fresh and evocative. It leads with a distinct scent of bright honey and sweet grain, followed by an earthy, mineral quality often described as petrichor (the smell of rain on dry earth). There is a clean, herbal hop presence that stays subtle and refined.
Palate: On the tongue, it is light-bodied and incredibly crisp. It leads with a delicate, biscuity malt sweetness that quickly gives way to a firm, assertive bitterness. The finish is dry and snappy, with light notes of lemon peel and a peppery hop spice that lingers briefly before cleaning the palate.
Profile: It sits at a highly sessionable 4.8% ABV and features a sturdy bitterness that provides more structure than a typical domestic lager.
Technical Notes: This beer is a showcase of Canadian terroir. It features barley malt from Alberta, Isar lager yeast from Escarpment Labs in Ontario, and Saaz hops grown at Myrtle Meadows in British Columbia. By using Canadian-grown Saaz, Bellwoods captures the spicy, noble character of the classic European hop but with a unique regional twist.
