Pours a dark golden hazy, turbid hue. Some citrus on the nose. It's got a citrus soft mouthfeel, but it has an oaty vegetal finish. I liked it, but there are others in the Aslin portfolio that far outshine this.

On tap at Churchkey in D.C.
Pours a murky orange with soft, dense foam.
Smell is juicy with notes of oranges, peaches and meloncandy.
Taste is slightly dnk with notes of melon, pineapple, grass and just a hint of booze. Soft bitterness and very nice balance.
Mouthfeel is medium and soft, but a bit undercarbonated.
Overall, a very tasty DIPA, great balance, but a bit low on carb.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy butterscotch color with a one finger head; splashy patterns of lacing emerge
Smell: Overripe pineapple, peach and apricot, with a dank edge
Taste: Dank from the outset, with a overripe tropical and stone fruits flavors; moderate bitterness builds, through the middle, bringing citrusy pith the mix; just a hint of melon sweetness underneath
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with low to moderate carbonation
Overall: A staple Aslin release but I think they make better beers than this one
