All's Welly That Ends Welly: Bewitched Belgian IPA

Bewitched Belgian IPA, an India pale ale brewed with farmhouse-style yeast, is a 6.3% alcohol, 65 IBU grog from Guelph, Ontario’s Wellington Brewery. Bewitched comes in creepy-as-hell 355mL bottles. The beer is a hazy and highly carbonated orange ale that pours with a thick fog of bright white head.

This ale has a yeast and tart fragrance that has a dusting of arid hops. For flavour, Bewitched is floral, yeasty, and cracklin’ dry. There is a subtext of bitterness, but the 65 IBUs are pretty well hidden.

Bewitched was a pretty decent Belgian-styled take on the IPA, but I’d have liked it to be a bit stronger and a bit deeper. Still, it was an enjoyable brewski.
