The beer pours a nice white and semi creamy but still very fluffy head that dissipates fairly quickly. The beer itself is a decent looking cloudy orange juice looking orange with a yellow hue. It's nice looking though a bit uninspiring.
The smell and taste are fairly good with a nice grassy hop note running through the whole thing. The smell has more of an orange note though compared to the taste while the taste has hop note closer to grapefruit. The hop notes mix well together without clashing and are distinct enough that they stand out but not fight with one another.
The feel is good. It's a medium bodied that is pretty dry through the whole thing. The carbonation is slight but there.
Overall, a fairly good beer worth getting on a hot summer day.

Collaboration with Crooked Run. 16 oz. can, no date, but purchased at brewery week of release. Poured into Belgian ale glass.
Aslin's last low ABV IPA "Schooner is a Sailboat" was a yuge winner in my book, so I am hoping for similar.
L: Very hazy orange, orange juice color. 1F+ head, OK retention, leaves webs of white lacing and a ring.
S: Lemon-grapefruit really predominates here. Light cracker malts.
T: Follows nose very closely. A bit puckery, astringent along with the dose of citrus. Bit of earthiness from the Amarillo.
F: Light-bodied, moderately-carbonated. Easy drinking. Well-constructed and balanced.
O: Definitely a nice drinking summer beer roughly in the style of Carton Boat, but with a bit more complexity.
