People's Pint Pit-Stop: Do People Still Like IPAs?

Do People Still Like IPAs? is an oatmeal IPA that I quaffed during my first visit to Toronto’s People’s Pint Brewing Company. According to the big board at the brewery, it was a collaboration with Beer Diversity, who is a very cool presence on Ontario's beer Twitter scene.

The 12oz beer arrived looking hazy and magnificent—orange gold under a shock of white head. D.P.S.L.I. clocked in at just 5.2%, making it a little light for its initials. It had a succulent tropical fruit scent, with papaya leading the charge over a trickle of tangerine. The flavour, too, is rich in exotic fruit flavours. The presence of oatmeal lent a gentle, smooth mouthfeel. At the finish line, there was some bitterness, though not quite as IBU-happy as I might have wished.

In all, Do People Still Like IPAs? was a thoroughly enjoyable romp. Flavourful and smooth, with little bit to like.
