The Pineapple Incident

Gifted to me by the effortlessly radical MTT, The Pineapple Incident is a pineapple saison from Toronto’s Rainhard Brewing Co. A 5% ale, TPI comes in plain 355mL cans. It’s a lightly hazy, dull gold ale with a thin cover of white head.

TPI has a plenty yeasty scent, with (and this may surprise you) a whiff of piña. The flavour is fairly tart up front, with a mellow pineapple sweetness out back. In neither aroma nor taste is the pineapple more than a suggestion, which is my subtle jam.

The beer coulda been stronger and a bit more flavourful, but I liked it alright. Honestly, it’s a bit more citrus than it is pineapple, but it’s certainly a touch acidic.
