Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7 473ml can <br> 5.0% Abv <br> Canned On: January 15, 2018 <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> April 30, 2018<br> $2.95<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed pale straw colour with a generous off-white head which recedes to a quarter inch cap. Plenty of tiny tiny bubbles create the effervescence. The aroma is stale grains, some strong citrusy hops (for a pilsner), and light yeast notes. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, crisp, and with average carbonation. The flavour is very nicely balanced between the grainy malt and the citrusy hops, a nice citrus finish for this one. |

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 473ml can <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Canned On: April 20, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> July 22, 2020<br> $3.45<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed metallic gold with a creamy white head that quickly recedes to a ring around the sides. Aroma is grassy malts, light tea, light spices, and very weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very different from the aroma with notes of wheat, orange, and tea. There is almost no bitterness in the finish however. So, for me, no detectable hops in the aroma or flavour but I enjoyed the taste. |

1436 | Exchange Brewery No. 7.1 White IPA | Canada | Witbier | 3.3
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 6.8% ABV <br> Canned On: July 25, 2019<br> Real Canadian Superstore - Main/Thompson (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 4, 2020 <br> $4.26<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed dark gold with a short-lived thin rocky white head. The aroma is light wheat, light spices, baby powder (yes, I smell baby powder), and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is wheat, and the alcohol is certainly noticeable. The alcohol gives the beer a far more bitter flavour than I like to see in the ‘white IPA / hopped witbier’ realm. |
