L: Had this on-tap at Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a snifter glass. Had an orange / yellow color and an extremely cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, fairly long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.

S: A sweet and fruity aroma of hops, citrus fruit, tropical fruit, malt, and cream.

T: Tasted of a hint of malt (mostly in the finish; very fleeting), a good shot of tropical fruit (pineapple, in particular), a creamy quality, a decent amount of hops (more than expected), and a lot of citrus fruit (orange, especially). This is a sweet, light, and vibrant flavor. Juicy and well-balanced. Tasty stuff.

F: A decent amount of carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Medium-bodied.

O: Another well made IPA from Aslin. Drinkable.

Poured a cloudy orange body with yellow tints and minimal head and lace down glass. Acidic and mango/pineapple fruit aromas hit me. Strong, acidic, bitter, tart, full body with a grassy, earthy, slightly mango/peach fruit sweetness with a soapy snap to the finish.

A:
Pours a hazy dark orange
with a skiff of short-lived head. No retention; some lacing. (3.75)

S:
Fermented orange, green apricots and lime with a slight tartness. (4)

T:
Apricots like no beer I've ever tasted! Apricot, thick dried apricot sweetness, orange, lime. (4.25)

M:
Slightly sticky body with light carbonation and a lingering sweet finish. (3.75)

O:
This is an interesting, unique NEIPA.
It is not much to look at. Thick and orange with languid carbonation. The aroma is full of ripe stonefruit, citrus and a faint tart twang that I can't quite place. The flavor is ripe apricot and little else. I've never had a beer that so closely resembled apricot. I'm guessing this is just the bumped up sweetness from the lactose altering the hop flavors. It ranges from green apricot tartness all the way through the meaty sweetness of dried apricots. It is a little too sweet for me, and is a bit sticky and boozy for what I like in an IPA. Nonetheless, the way it all comes together to form a rich, clean, sweet fruity flavor like this is definitely to be appreciated. Initially, this cohesiveness made me bump it up a bit, but the cloyingness that comes out after a while made me bump it back down. (3.75)

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Pours cloudy with an orange/copper hue; the head builds to one finger and then fades to a film that leaves a few shards around the glass

Smell: Orange juice and pineapple tones with a distinct creamsicle element

Taste: Bright and juicy, with orange and pineapple tones bursting; the creamsicle element appears briefly, before the swallow, when a moderate amount of citrusy bitterness appears; juicy, through the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with a creamy character; moderate carbonation

Overall: One of the brighter, juicier NEIPAs I have tasted; really enjoyed it

Thanks , Slack, for the opportunity
