Buckle up, we will be flying high shortly.
You’re a Cranky Old Captain assigned to fly that red eye from YYZ to YVR. * Riding in on the UP Express, you have a hankering for Henderson’s Best, an amber for the ages, and the aged. But no one wants a Foster Brooks ** at the wheel of their 747. What to do? How about instead of a Henderson’s Best, you pop the top on a Henderson’s least, their non-alcoholic Pearson Express special.
Another contestant in our zero percent experiment, this 0.5% IPA follows on the heels of Henderson’s Ring and Post IPA, a certified super suds scorer. They call this a Toronto Style IPA. Is that an IPA that sometimes makes it past the first round in the playoffs? And now Marner ends up in Vegas? That’s almost as bad as Gretzky going to LA. *** As you can see, I don’t need alcohol to digress (but it helps).
A light citrus pour, semi-hazy which I guess could be called semi-clear as well. A nice foamy head which quickly vanishes into thin air. A very mild Citrus fruit aroma, no hops in the house. The first taste is a light juice and mild hoppy bitters. Very light, a carry-on bag filled with helium light. If you’ve ever had a micro IPA get ready for a micro light. This is a very light and nicely refreshing zero with a nice, albeit light, flavour.
Not a zero hero but Henderson’s least is at least an honourable mention.
