Henderson’s flagship, Henderson’s Best, is a modern take on classic English Ale; refreshing, with a mild floral nose and an ABV of 5.5%. To create this beer, we tried to imagine the beer first brewed in Toronto at the beginning of the 19th century and how it would have changed and matured over the 215 years between then and now. That recipe, tweaked throughout 2015 became Henderson’s Best. Best won an award at the 2016 (Bronze) and 2017 (Gold) Ontario Brewing Awards. Henderson’s Best is moderately hopped, with caramel and malt-forward flavour. Well-balanced, smooth, and easy-drinking.

Bomber pouring a slightly deeper amber colour with a frothy-creamy beige head, good retention and some nice dirty lacing. Caramel malt aromas with hints of rusty hops. The taste has the hops a little stronger than the malts, especially for an ESB. And not the best hops to blend with this one. Other than that, not the worst.
