455 Wellington Raked Over IPA Canada IPA 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 5

November 15, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> 473ml can <br> 6.9% ABV <br> Canned On: June 122 2021 <br> $4.25 <br> The beer pours a solid lemon gold colour with orange highlights and a white creamy, rocky head that lasts a few minutes. Nice lacing down the glass. The aroma is light grass, citrus, some weak peppery spice, yeast, and earthy hops. The hoppy earthiness grows as the beer warms. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is multidimensional….the first thing you get is the grassy malts and the fruity citrus, and then you’re hit with the habanero pepper, and from that point on, all you can taste (and feel) is the pepper aspect of this beer.
