Small Fortunes

 

Small Fortunes is a session-friendly pale ale from Toronto’s outpost of Collective Arts. Brewed with Nectaron hops, the beer is just 4.5% and comes in 500mL bottles. Hazy and golden, the beer pours with a sudsy white fog.

SF has a mild but enticing fruit-forward nose. The flavour is still quite mild, but it shows a bit more depth, with notes of peach and apricot. The finish has a faint touch of bitterness.

What I really like about this beer is that it is peachy (apricot-y?) without being over-sweet. That really ups the refreshment quotient to a healthy level. The texture is a bit thin and the price point was a little steep, but otherwise a really solid li’l ale.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
