    Default a drink less well suited

    Ushikawa was in the cafeteria by the front lobby, drinking a café au lait as he waited for Tengo. Tengo could not imagine a drink less well suited to Ushikawa, whose strange exterior looked all the stranger amid the energetic, young students.
    (H. Murakami; 1Q84)

    Is it possible to leave out 'well' without drastically changing the meaning?

    Thanks.

    Yes, in my opinion.

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
