Poured from a 16 oz can dated 06/13/2017. The can says "Einhorn is Finkle", but I understand it's basically the exact same beer.
Pours a hazy amber orange color with a finger of effervescent white head. The head has good retention, leaving a halo of lace before settling into a creamy film.
The aroma is doughy and yeasty, with notes of cereal grains and fruity esters. The middle is filled with notes of oranges and tangerines, before a piney and earthy back end. All I can say is....what?
The flavor is more of the same. Bananas, biscuits and spicy yeast, followed by some sugary citrus. Herbaceous and earthy, with some fresh berries on the finish. Again, what?
The feel is medium bodied with lower carbonation. Decently smooth and dry.
Overall, what in the sweet fuck am I drinking? Is this a Belgian Pale Ale? An American IPA? A Belgian IPA? This beer has one hell of an identity crisis. In that regard, this beer is also perfectly named.

Thanks again to Yulles for snagging me a few Aslin beers. This is 3 of 4 down. 16 oz. can dated 5/9/17, I half expect the beer to be fossilized.
The pour is certainly wild-looking - booming head necessitates multiple pours to fit it into a large glass. Looks like orange juice mixed liberally with Goldschlager (now that’s a nightmare-inducer). Smells like passion fruit, hay, & tangerine.
Finkle is Einhorn - the evident movie reference is from a flick so bad that I’ve completely blocked it out. There’s a bit of funk, but it’s quickly overwhelmed by the passion fruit & stone fruit, with a healthy dipping of cloves & other herbal notes. Grainy, grassy, with late-popping but moderate bitterness, & a finish that’s very dry. The best part? Certainly easy to drink.
This is one confused beer; I have no idea what the brewer was aiming for, but you could have handed me this & told me it was one of six or seven different styles & I would have bought it. Beginning to think Aslin just isn’t for me. Decent enough.
