Solid looking golden orange color, minimal head. Aroma is.. wow. Complex. Heavy citrus hits up front, lots and lots of peach, nectarine. Tastes fruit forward. Citrus hits up front. It says natural flavors on the can and you can kinda tell. Tastefully done more than most, but eh. Overall it’s good, the flavors added cheapens it

A friend described it like a mango cream cycle and I think that is right. Vanilla and mango notes make for a sweeter and more tropical IPA but it balances against the higher abv nicely. Definitely one to seek out whether or not you are a fan of Aslins work!!

A - A very hazy medium orang pour with a ton of small floaties.
S - Smell is dominated with vibrant mango and vanilla. The mango has a very slight zing to it (but not much).
T - All mango, tropical fruit, and vanilla from start to finish while ending on the sweeter side.
M - Big medium body and finishing mostly wet.
O - This is way better than anticipated, just wish I could make sense out of the date stamp on the can. Worth a look if you like big, fruity IPA's.

16 ounce can poured into a tulip style pint glass.
A hazy pour, not quite opaque, the color is pale yellow and it has suspended sediment. The large white head consists of loose foam but is persistent and leaves a little lace.
The nose is juicy with plenty of mango and tropical hop aroma. The taste is no different, fruity mango, orange and peach flavors and vanilla which appears after it warms a bit. Sweetness is high with mild tropical hop bitterness keeping it somewhat in check. The alcohol character (both aroma and flavor) is very low at first but asserts itself later in the glass which makes for a Fuzzy Navel (peach schnapps and orange juice) like flavor. Medium weight body, soft, smooth and slick feel with a tiny bit of prickle at the finish. It goes down with a little warmth.
A good hazy double if you are looking for juicy and sweet. I found it rather drinkable.

Was given a can by a friend who volunteered at the annual Aslin festival back in July. Received 7-29-22; consumed 10-6-22. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured a murky orange with a small white head that dissipated quickly.
Nose comes across overly sweet with a ton of vanilla and tropical fruit.
Taste is a large malt base that has vanilla and mango adjuncts that make a beer way too sweet. Hopping not even close to balancing.
Mouthfeel is smooth.
Overall i did not realize i was getting a smoothie as this is way too sweet.

6 oz mini-snifter pour at Lures Bar & Grille. Pours a cloudy light orange with a small head. Aroma and flavor feature mango, candied citrus, wheat, and lots of vanilla - fairly sweet, but balanced. Creamy, soft mouthfeel. Super easy to drink for the 9.4% abv. Overall a great fruited NEIPA from Aslin.
