473 ml can served cold into a chalice. LCBO purchase for around $4.10 CDN.
Appearance - Hazy yellowy golden brew with a finger and a half of fairly long lived foamy head. Marginal lacing at the edges, but a pleasant haziness in this brew.
Smell - tropical fruits with a little peach and plum mixed. Nothing terribly distinctive, but not unpleasant.
Taste - Mild bitterness, a medley of tropical fruits and some peachiness thrown in. Again muddled together, but quite pleasant. Solid wheat malt backbone.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, carbonation is lighter than average, easy to drink and quite crushable.
Overall - Rather solid IPA, nothing outstanding, but a generally pleasurable if indistinct fruity adventure. Worth a try while in stores.

473 mL can from the LCBO, included in Wellington's latest 'Bootique' mixed pack. Dated Oct 12 2022 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy pale golden colour, producing nearly two fingers of foamy white head that melts off within three minutes or so. An arcing pattern of lace adheres to the glass, with a wide, sudsy collar and thin cap covering the surface. The aroma is subdued, offering up indistinct hints of tropical & stone fruits, as well as notes of citrus, passion fruit and papaya.
It's a well-brewed pale ale, but at the same time, it's pretty low-key for a hazy IPA. Subtle notes of orange flesh & pith, with hints of cantaloupe, papaya, wheat and grapefruit by mid-sip. Lightly floral, herbal and a teensy bit resiny on the back end, with low bitterness and lingering tropical fruitiness into the aftertaste. Medium in body, with moderate carbonation that adds some crispness to this brew's smooth, soft mouthfeel. The low IBU, mellow flavour profile and smooth mouthfeel add up to a very drinkable, somewhat forgettable IPA.
Final Grade: 3.73, a B grade. Wellington has upped their IPA game in recent years, but they're a long way from being an Ontario leader in these styles. Morning Moon isn't outstanding, but it's not like there's anything wrong with it. I'd take their Upside IPA over MM, though I suppose this did grow on me over the course of the glass. OK as a sampler pack inclusion, but not something I'd deliberately seek out, and not worth the hassle of releasing as an LCBO single.
