Everyone who lives in Toronto has heard it: the visitor from Manitoba, the Habs fan on TV, the guy on the chairlift behind you at Whistler, all telling you “Toronto sucks!” Why?! What makes everyone else in Canada think we suck? Okay, we haven’t won a hockey championship in nearly 50 years, and we had that SARS thing, plus a few clunky mayors but still…this town has so much going for it. Toronto is the world’s most multicultural city, with over 140 languages spoken. We have a great beach, the world’s largest car-free urban community and North America’s largest cultural festival . On top of all that, Toronto was named the best place to live in the world in 2015 by the Economist. C’mon, Vancouver, we want to be your friend, so c’mon over for a beer. We’ve brewed one up just the way you like it.

650ml bomber purchased at the brewery's grand opening yesterday. A one-off West Coast-style IPA. Served in a nonic pint.
Pours a hazy golden pale ale colour. Nice head and lacing.
Fairly muted grapefruit and pine hop aromas. Kind of meh.
Big and bitter up front. Lots of grapefruit, ripe peach, and pine hop flavours. Not a lot of malt sweetness.
Body is on the lighter side for the style. Highly carbonated. Lingering bitter aftertaste.
Not bad at all. There's nothing groundbreaking or especially over-the-top about the hop profile, but this is a solid, highly drinkable local IPA.
Update: I've been told that this beer, or one much like it, will become a regular Henderson offering under the moniker UPA (Union-Pearson Ale).
