Our single hop series has been a delicious and interesting experiment into the diverse world of hops. Following an identical recipe but only changing one variable each time (the hop) we've been able to study the exact aromatics and flavours imparted by specific varieties. Not unlike the series launched by Mikkeller, here at Bellwoods our Monagamy brews are all about settling down with one love. Yes, when ordering this beer in the brewpub the jokes are endless (ie. “I'm not so sure about monogamy” or “I tried monogamy once and never really liked it” or the oft hilarious “I guess I'll have it because my girlfriend/boyfriend is sitting beside me”) but stop being a wise-ass. Even the polygamous can't deny the allure of this beer.

6.4 abv, solo simcoe hop from the west coast. Sweet start but more bitter finish. Not too crisp, good mouthy feel. Bought from bellwoods bottle shop!

Hazed golden colour, one finger of white head, some lace. Smell has lots of fruity hops, big grapefruit and fuzzy peaches, a little more malt on the nose than some of the other monogamy series. Taste is moderately bitter, fruity and earthy hops, the fruit flavours are a bit muddy and come off as a general citrus with grapefruit standing out a bit, orange in the aftertaste, some malt mid palate and fairly dry. Medium carbonation, light body and a little watery at points. Not bad but certainly not the best in the series.

Probably my favorite of the monogamy series. Such a complex hop.

Thanks to a buddy for picking up some bottles of this. This is by far my favourite brewery in the province, maybe even Canada. This pours a hazy, golden yellow with good lacing. This pale ale reminds me of california, just a fantastic brew. Tastes of slight citrus, grapefruit and peach coming through with the simcoe hops. Every sip is delicious and the mouthfeel is incredible. This brewery amazes me every time. Just wish it was more available.
