People’s Pint Pit-Stop: Serendipitous Sour

My third and final 12oz pour during my debut visit to People’s Pint in Toronto was their Serendipitous Sour, brewed with pineapple and mixed berries. The 5% beer showed up rose-hued and elegant in a stemmed chalice. It arrived with a fluffy white head, though it faded to a sudsy ring extremely quickly.

Serendipitous Sour had a wacky nose, rich in sweet fruit punch notes. Given the sweetness of the aroma, it was a pleasant surprise to find that Serendipitous Sour was actually. The flavour kicked off with sharp, unripened berry notes, before mellowing into a juicy pineapple finish.

Fruitier and less tart than many of its sour contemporaries, I found People’s Pint’s take to be quite engaging, in a juicy sort of way. Not as funky as I might have wanted, perhaps, but certainly agreeable.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
