Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 5.1% ABV <br> Canned On: January 28, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> June 24, 2020<br> $2.65<br> The beer pours a hazed metallic gold with a thin creamy off-white head. The head lasts a while but there is no lacing. The aroma is dominated by sweet mango notes with wheat, cereal, and light spices in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the mango and the wheat and the loser was my tongue. There is a bitter flavour I can’t put my finger on but it kills the beer. |

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. |

2396 | 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. |
