From the can: pours murky orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, ripe tropical fruits, hints of pine, passionfruit. Not really getting much pineapple here. Taste is, as usual with Aslin, more bitter than your on-trend IPA, pine and citrus bite. Finish is super juicy and cuts the bitterness some. Sweetness is there but it is certainly kept in check. Quite good.

Canned 12/7/17, drunk 12/31/17.
Cloudy orange-maize-gold, typical NE DIPA appearance with little/no head.
Skunky hops, rather mousey and strange with pineapple, mandarin, juicy orange and light vanilla-like notes somewhat saving the day. Cracker-like malts are quite sparse, but there's not really much resin or pine, so much as a ton of punchy, crushed pineapple and strong mango.
In the mouth there's more bitterness than expected with lots of juiciness. No resin or pine and malts are biscuit and cracker-laden with no alcohol and not much of the skunky hop from the initial aromatic impressions. A bit pushy with the overly tangy, lush pineapple-mango-papaya, but the attenuation is pretty good and the carbonation, while low, is quite engaging.

16 oz. can. 12-7-17. Aroma shows apricot, peach, and mango pulp. The flavor is really great; tropical fruits, pineapple, lots of mango, with some grapefruit bitterness. Kind of juicy texture. They nailed now the NE IPA.

Can from P-Funk-Stay-Dawgg. Split 5 ways. Looks very thick, like melted orange sherbert. Smells similar to the other beer I had from them. Orange juice. tastes just like all of the other NE IPAs. I truly don't get the difference. thick, turbid, orange juice.

Can into a snifter showing hazy dark orange with a finger of quickly dissipating clean white foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of guava, mango, pineapple, and light notes of durian and cannabis. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Strong citric acidity throughout with strong flavors of guava with light mango and pineapple. NE style malt on the mid-palate followed by a mild bitterness on the finish.
