Much Ado
Aslin Beer Company

 

Poured a seethru orange-gold body with decent head and a lace sheath down the glass. The aroma is mild and hoppy with a touch of graininess. Light body, easy to drink, has a floral, springlike hoppiness with an herbal tea-like dryness and crispness (and acidity) on finish for an overall light and refreshing summer beer.

 

 

 

 

 

A thanks to the mighty woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is full of sweet malts. Taste is malts, light breadiness, a touch sweet, clean and refreshing. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a solid beer.

 

 

16oz can with no date. Opened 2-12-21.
2 finger white head, dense and with good retention.
Golden-straw color with a slightly unfiltered look. Full and clingy lacing.
Up front hops - grass and citrus in the nose.
Bready and sweet malt with an aggressive and tasty citrus/grass/floral hop flavor.
Medium body and carbonation, great drinkability in a just slightly off-dry finish.
Miscast as a Helles but very, very tasty. I feel like this is a different beer from what's been reviewed before mine.
Very Good.

Sampling a cold 16 oz can poured into my .5L dimple mug. Beer is courtesy of my brother Curt. Thanks Man!
The beer pours a very light cloudy goldenrod color with fizzy bleached white head of about .5 cm. The foam is fading quickly to a thin edge layer, even with several active streams of carbonation rising to refresh the surface.
Aroma is mild overall and has some grainy and husky malt a bit of a biscuity malt note that I always think of as being like a scone. Hops give a bit of grassy balance.
The first sip reveals light and crisp textured body with very fine and tingly carbonation. Very easy drinking physical traits on this beer.
Flavor is grainy and husky malt with a good bit of sweetness including some light fruity notes sort of like a pear or sweeter apple variety. Finish is again grainy or biscuit, again sconelike for me. not a lot of hop character here, maybe a little grassy hit in the finish.
ABV is hidden and this beer is crushable. Glad to have tried it and nice to mix up my style sampling in the winter a little bit. Worth a try if you are diggin on lagers.

 

Got a can and poured into nonic pint. Look is clear gold, white head that fell quickly to nothing. A little carbonation bouncing up from the bottom. Smell is pretty light and clean. A bit of grass, white bread dough. Taste starts sweet, malty, white bread with a small hit of fruitiness there too. The middle sees a bit of grassiness and minimal bitterness. Finish is fairly clean, but remains sweet in the end. Feel is a light bodied, but the sweetness gives it a slick, coating feeling. A bit more hop presence might balance this out some. Overall, it's a good beer to throw back. Not very complex, but easy to drink.

 

 

 

Can. Darker burnt gold color. White head with some lace.

Nice and easy drinking lager. Lots of flavor. Biscuit and toasted malts. Earthy and grassy hops. Very smooth and crisp feel. This one goes down to quick.

 

Poured from the can into a Libbey style pilsner glass.

Fairly clear body, with a real nice orange almost peach orange like yellow color. Quite dark for a helles. Frothy and creamy forming three to four finger tall easily on the pour. Settles with a good sized collar while rested. Minimal if any very fine carbonation .

Aroma is sticky and pasty malts and yeast. Not so much bready or clean either but tolerable and notthing faulty either. No real hop presence either. Meerly and ok decent nose.

Palate is a little on the missing angle it seems. Fairly syrupy body with touches of almost slick coated mouthfeel without the diacetyl rub at least. A somewhat syrupy but not sugary tasting body that's lacking any malt presence. Crispness is nowhere near to be found on this, and strangely doesn't even come off that light in flavor. Very neutral tasting base.

While drinkable, this lager seems to lack an identity and almost feels kind of mass market in some ways.
