COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
5 years ago, when we were building the brewery, we marvelled at the trains rolling by. These trains, most of which were headed from Union Station to Pearson Airport, gave rise to our IPA which we named Union Pearson Ale, or UPA for short. Over the years, we’ve had many questions about what UPA stood for and, with the beer launching in the LCBO this fall, we thought the time was right to just spell it out. Introducing Pearson Express IPA, the same great beer you love in a less confusing package.

Pours hazy yellow with massive white head that leaves lots of lacing behind and sticks around for while. Really well balanced citrus taste. Lively carbonation. Hints of west coast IPA but not overwhelmed.

KansaiBeerLvrs (7658) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JUN 12, 2019
UPDATED: JUN 12, 2019 Glowing golden brass color with a tropical piney aroma. This beer has a smooth soft mouthfeel and full body. Great balanced hoppiness that gives you a bitter bite but also enticing fruity hoppiness. Good stuff. 3.7
