16 oz. can dated 5/25/17 poured into Teku glass.
L: 2F head with good retention, fair amount of soapy lacing, cap and ring. Beer is a mostly hazy copper.
S: Muted ripe citrus and tropical, fair amount of herbal and earthiness.
T: Follows nose for the most part. It's more a slightly-bitter earthbomb than a juicebomb and more malt-forward than the usual Aslin.
F: Medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Pretty good drinker on a warm day. Construction is simple but good, balance seems fine as I think the slight bitterness is intentional.
O: More like a session IPA with a bit of body to it than anything else, but pretty good anyway.

On tap at The Sheffield in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like clementine, peach, orange, berry skin, grassy hops, and a touch of bready malt.
This drinks pretty light and airy – not that 6% is high ABV, but how light it drinks is surprising and honestly pretty good. There’s a crisp fruity hop character, some very light maltiness, and a nice clean bitterness.
This is light bodied, crisp, clean, and quite drinkable.
This is more restrained than I would expect from Aslin, and that’s honestly great.

I don't see a date listed on the can, but on the bottom rim it has: "B008050E"
Appearance: The body is a light gold color with a lot of haze, but it can still be seen through. Fuzzy shadows are visible through the glass. The head is large, white, and foamy. Excellent head retention and nice slopes of lacing.
Aroma: It has a light grapefruit aroma which is nice. There is a bit of a white pepper spice scent and some light wildflower character too. It smells very nice.
Taste: It has a light bit of blood orange up front with some rye bread character in the middle. A bit of alcohol in the middle and a light grassy note at the end.
Mouthfeeel: It is light bodied and it has a mild hop bitterness. It feels good on the palate.
Overall: The beer looks fantastic and it smells really nice, giving it this enjoyable mix of citrus, bread, and spice on the nose. The flavor is pretty enjoyable as well. I could drink it again and it's worth recommending.

Nice lace and head on this cloudy ochre body. Light and easy on the carbonation, the texture and aftertaste work. The taste is mellow and full of tropical fruit. Not bitter at all, I would definitely get this again.

16oz can into a pint glass. Another brewer that tells you to drink fresh, then doesn't bother to date the can.
Looks very good in the glass. Hazy pear juice colored body. Big white head shrinks to a fat collar and covering, leaves rings of lacing.
The aroma is a bit musty, light citrus and a bigger grassy/weedy aroma.
Taste is as the nose predicts, with a touch of herb thrown in.
Mouth full, finish warmer than the abv would suggest, herbal/citrus mix.
Overall, not a bad drink, but the description is of huge fruit notes, and that doesn't come through. May be an older can, but until Aslin dates their cans, we'll never know.
