The only remotely psychedelic song on the White Album was probably "Cry Baby Cry"... which John wrote back to December '67.

There's not much psychedelic with either Rubber Soul and The White Album. Sure, those albums may be a bit related to their psychedelic albums (Revolver, Sgt Peppers & MMT) but calling Rubber Soul and White Album psychedelic is wrong in my opinion.
But back to the topic, I think that Ticket To Ride was the start of The Beatles with less commercial and more experimental music.Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker

Just using a sitar in a song doesn't automatically make it psychedelic. They could've just as easily used, say, a dulcimer or autoharp for that part.

John once called Ticket To Ride "The first metal song." Not even joking.
As for eras, I'd say it's something like this:
1.) Please Please Me - Beatles For Sale
2.) A Hard Day's Night - Rubber Soul
3.) Revolver - The White Album
4.) Abbey Road - Let It Be
Putting Revolver in with their earlier albums just feels weird. I mean, think of some of the songs: "I'm Only Sleeping", "Love You To", "She Said She Said", and especially "Tomorrow Never Knows". Nothing from their early catalog is anywhere near as psychedelic.

It wasn't the first psychedelic song, but it definitely shows their growth as song writers. Someone else said about the drum beat, it's definitely not the standard 4/4 drum beat that we're accustomed to hearing in rock n' roll songs. It's also one of the first Beatle songs to go over three minutes. We see Paul branching out and playing guitar on this song.
Something like "I'm Only Sleeping" or "Tomorrow Never Knows" might be considered a pre-cursor to the psychedelic era.
