Style: Red Ale - Irish

ABV: 5.5    IBU: 0

Our most complex beer, with its big and malty flavour it has a very long finish. Lightly carbonated and heavy in body. The roast barley contributes complex flavours like burnt toast, strawberry jam, coffee, chocolate, and leather.

Style: Stout - Irish Dry

ABV: 4.7    IBU: 0

This traditional Irish Stout is very dark, heavy and complex with an extremely long finish. In addition to the high rate of hopping in the kettle there is also bitterness from the roast barley. It has a dense, creamy head and is full of complex, burnt, “roasty” flavours. Notes of burnt toast, licorice and chocolate, but also cedar, berry, pear, walnut and citrus.

Style: Wheat Beer - American Pale Wheat

ABV: 5    IBU: 0

This is our lightest beer. The significant portion of wheat lends a green apple / sour plum to the middle of the palate. Highly carbonated, light and refreshing, short finish, leaves you wanting more.

Style: Cider - Traditional / Apfelwein

ABV: 6.5    IBU: 0

This cider is less sweet than our previous one and slightly more alcoholic at 6.5% ABV. Most importantly it is 10% fresh pressed juice (by volume) of cranberries from the west coast of Newfoundland. It is tart, fruity, vibrant and very off dry with a little bitter twist on the finish from the cranberry. Bright with a lovely pink hue...Festive-like.

Style: Brown Ale - Other

ABV: 4    IBU: 20

4% ABV. Low 20's in bitternesss. Pepperiness from the rye, lactic bite from the sourdough, figs and raisins as backnotes and Willamette in quantity as a dry hop. Complex but, oh so balanced. Bread and beer have been intimately connected since antiquity. This beer is an embrace of exactly that with an acknowledgement of our obligation to do better and waste less. Made with a lot of day old bread from our local bakery, The Rocket, and a heart of gold. Mild brown ale. Well suited to accompany bread and cheese.

Style: Dark Ale

ABV: 4.5    IBU: 40

In June 2015, YellowBelly's Black Gold became available on tap and in bottles for a limited time. It's a black ale, coming in at about 40 IBU and 4.5% ABV. It is exclusively hopped with Brewer's Gold (base, late, warm dry hop and cold dry hop). Very balanced and just a smack of chocolate and another smack of something we can only describe as "puffed wheat." The astringency you might expect from darkly roasted cereals is absent, as the roast material used was Midnight Wheat at about 8% of the grist. Head presentation, from the hops and the Midnight Wheat, is exceptional.

Style: Cream Ale

ABV: 4.8    IBU: 18

An East Coast Cream Ale. We’ve put a wee twist on a classic style. Dry hopped with Mosaic. It is redolent with hop aroma but not very bitter at all. It is a light bodied quaffer designed to be moreish.

Style: Brown Ale - American

ABV: 6.2    IBU: 40

An American Brown in style. Perhaps a little heavy at 6.2% ABV for the style and also over the top fruity but I've never been one to be confined to style guidelines. About 40 IBU's against a significant malt backbone. 6.2% alcohol, Canadian Pale, English Maris Otter, Canadian Munich, Scottish Carastan and Scottish Black Malt make up the grist. Hopped with Nugget and Galena, it is also dry hopped twice, first with Chinook and Ahtanum, second with Topaz.... it is a lovely thing. Balanced and drinkable. Chocolate, caramel, roast and nutty notes. Spicy, herbal, resinous, piney and tropical fruit from the dry hopping cycles.

Style: IPA - Other

ABV: 6    IBU: 60

New IPA seasonal introduced in August 2015. It disappeared fast but due to clamouring by an affectionate public, we're bringing it back! About 60 IBUs and about 6% ABV, it is a bitter fruity hop bomb. Liam brewed it using American ale yeast vs. our regular British house strain. It is dry and bitter with serious overtones of lychee and grapefruit. Made exclusively with hops from the southern hemisphere (pacific gem from New Zealand and mosaic from Australia).

Style: Pale Ale - English

ABV: 5.3    IBU: 53

Landsmen is the word for fishers that practice their trade from the shore vs large offshore boats. Our tribute to swilers, really. Maris Otter, Dark Crystal and Brewer's Gold hops. The singular use of this hop at all stages including two separate dry hop applications allows its earthy, spicy, berry fruit character to shine. A brewer's beer. 5.3
