As the name implies, this beer came about as a happy accident. While doing one of our first brews of Nik's Bitter, Nik misread his own handwriting, and added CaraPils malt rather than Caramel Pils malt. You can see how he got messed up. The result was a paler than Pale Ale, but with a hearty hop aroma. We developed this beer further--simplified the malts, and upped the hopping--and Serendipitous is the result.

Hazy dirty gold color. The head is small but lasts. Good ring and spot lacing on the clear plastic glass.
Berry sweetness is the first aroma I get. Very light, but floral, hop nose.
The flavor is similar to the smell but with a little more pronounced hop presence, particularly in the swallow. Beyond the berry is a strong, semisweet caramel. The body is thin and the carbonation is slightly high giving this beer a refreshing "lawnmower" consistency. The overall effect, though, works well -- this is a flavorful and refreshing pint.
