The aroma is grassy malts, light papaya and grapefruit notes, a string yeasty scent, and some floral notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light grains, mild fruit, and a bitter hoppy finish. A very good ‘light’ beer. |

1453 | Henderson Brewing Union Pearson Ale / Henderson Brewing Pearson Express IPA | Canada | IPA | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 473ml can <br> 6.5% ABV<br> Canned On: November 23, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> April 7, 2021<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a deep gold colour, slightly hazed, with a rocky off-white head that lives for a few minutes. The aroma is caramel malt, light citrus, and yeast. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. It falls flat on flavour however with the alcohol coming through and dominating the caramel and hop notes. As an aside, the Henderson Brewery actually backs onto the tracks on which the Union Pearson Express runs. |

The aroma is grassy malts, lots of citrusy orange notes, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.
