Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

473ml can<br> 6.0% ABV<br> Best Before: October 10, 2021 <br> LCBO Outlet #631 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Thompson)<br> November 9, 2021<br> $3.95<br> The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a generous rock white head which dissipates to a film and leaves generous lacing. The aroma is cereal grains, yeast, citrus, and floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the malt and the hops. The finish is bitter. There is a flavour on the tongue I recognize but can’t quite place. A solid beer from the Muskokas.

1478 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.

The aroma is cereal malts, weak herbal hops, some yeasty notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is “woody”. I can still taste the cereal malts, but the hops have become bitter and earthy. In fact, I’m not liking the flavour of this at all.

A little effervescence is going on. The aroma is grapefruit, grass, and pine notes. Maybe a little yeast too, but hard to detect. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is certainly fruit forward with grapefruit and tangerine flavours coming through in abundance. Cereal flavours are present as is a weakly bitter finish. Flavourful and easy to drink, but yet, probably not a favourite.

The first thing I smell is lemongrass followed by hints of coconut, wet grass, and light musty hop notes. The lemon grass almost gives it a shoe polish kind of nose. Not a good sign if you want me to drink your beer&#33; The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The combination of the lemongrass and coconut give the flavour even more of a furniture &#47; shoe polish note. They don’t meld together at all in this beer.
