Aslin Beer Company

 

Awesome beer. Aslin is a great brewery. Very flavorful, citrusy beer. Won't be disappointed getting these, not to mention that you don't need many to get the job done either.

I CAN't tell you how excited I am to be getting Aslin among our distro here in PA! I love these guys & the fact that they are dedicated to the furtherance of The CANQuest (tm) makes it a double-plus bonus for me.

From the CAN: "Double India Pale Ale with Milk Sugar".

Its label marks it as at least an ADIPA if not an NEDIPA & I will be sending a ChANge Request as a result. I shall CANsider it as a former unless told differently.

I beCAN with a Crack! of the vent, followed by a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. It foamed up beautifully to form two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, bone-white head with very good retention, leaving a mess of lacing as it slowly slid away down the interior edges of the glass. Color was an oh-so-slightly-hazy Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7). Nose had an interesting tropical fruitiness in that it was less mango-papaya and more guava-coconut-pineapple. Hmm. Mouthfeel was medium-to-full with an oily slickness on the tongue. The taste was mainly tropical, but with a creeping pine mintiness throughout, imparting a coolness to the party. Finish was semi-dry and more refreshing than I might have expected, given its ABV. YMMV.

 

16oz can from Tavour. Orange golden body, thick head leaves a fine ring. Full fruity aroma, elements of tropical, citrus, even stone fruit. Taste does not disappoint, more of the rich fruit basket flavors, super juicy with a nice soft tangy finish. What a treat!

16oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours golden in color with a one-finger foamy white head that has great retention and leaves a bit of lacing behind

S- aroma is a bit more muted than I thought it would be. There's a tropical hop note that gives pineapple, mango, peach and grass. Undertones of milk sugars and citrus zest

T- tropical sweet notes of mango, melon and passionfruit, followed by some zesty citrus. Mid-palate gives some creamy milk sugars, the finish gives more mango and melon

M- medium body with medium carbonation leads to a creamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish

O- not as juicy as you'd expect form them, but still solid and drinkable
