Just bought one can today at the LCBO in Ontario Canada 473ml at 5.7%.
Poured into glass with a 1 finger head going down quickly leaving not much of a lace while drinking it .
Overall an ok sour beer.
Cheers

Tallboy from the LCBO; one of four different brews in Welly's Mix Pack Vol 8. Dated Mar 6 2020 and served barely chilled.
Pours foggy lemondrop yellow, generating a quarter-inch of loose, fizzy white head that vanishes within sixty seconds. A modest collar of froth is the only survivor; no cap or lace to speak of - looks plain, like a typical kettle sour to me, but if you're going to call your beer an IPA then I have to judge it like one. The nose has a fair bit of lemony lactic acidity, along with hints of gritty, grainy wheat malts, tropical fruit and a mix of grapefruit and apricot.
The aroma has already told me most of the story ahead of time - this is a pretty straightforward kettle sour, with sour lemon flavours mingling together with hints of melon, mango and stone fruit, as well as a light backing of grainy, crackery wheat malt sweetness. Grapefruit and orange citrus stay strong through the finish, which adds a hint of floral hoppiness to an otherwise tart, fruity aftertaste that doesn't linger for long. Light-ish in body, with moderately assertive carbonation that prickles the tongue, resulting in a crisp, refreshing feel. I'd drink it again if it's available, but I wouldn't search high and low for more.
Final Grade: 3.67, an acceptable B grade. Wellington's Cry If I Want To would really hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon, but as far as 'sour IPAs' go I wouldn't say this is anything too special. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it's probably closer to a kettle sour than an IPA - not that there's anything inherently wrong with such a hybrid. The issue is that this one faces the 'jack of all trades' conundrum, in that it handles both sides competently enough, while excelling at neither - i.e. I don't think it's puckeringly sour enough to really satisfy the sour beer fans, nor does it have the hop intensity to interest a plurality of hopheads. Then again, maybe that middle-of-the-road quality makes it a more approachable sampler pack inclusion.

473 ml served cool into a tulip. Part of Wellington's latest mixed pack.
Appearance- Hazy ruddy golden color with a small half finger of head poured that dissipates pretty quickly. No lacing to speak of.
Smell - Some grain, lemon and maybe some passionfruit. Wheat is abundant too.
Taste - Lemon, mildly bitter / sour they kind of blend together. More sour than IPA though. A little fruity sweetness to close.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, carbonation is soft finish is moderatly dry.
Overall - Not bad, not not terribly memorable either. Probably my least favorite brew of the mixed pack. Worth a try, but not full on sour or full on IPA either.
