Passion fruit and orange peel. Super strong booze smell. Murky yellow pour with decent head. Hop tang finish that cloys for a while. Tap at Herndon location.

Can from Alexandria: pours hazy with white head. Aroma is nice mellow mango and pineapple notes and orange. Taste is sweet. Very clean. Best Aslin I had today.

Thanks JC. Weird aroma, slightly poopy, doughy. Taste is a bit similar, malty, floury, light pineapple, bit of tropical. Bit weird.

Pours a hazy, golden yellow, with smallish, but lasting head. Aroma has citrus and tropical fruit notes, with some grassiness and pine/spruce hops. Flavor is very citrusy, with lots of hop bitterness. Smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. Bitter finish and aftertaste.

Very pale hazy white golden color. Frothy white head. Over ripe Mikan, burnt fruit, phenolic nose. Odd. Low bitterness. Too phenolic, odd hops. Way too dry. Strange.

Can poured into a snifter showing unfiltered hazy yellow with half a finger of quickly dissipating clean white foam. The nose shows durian, guava, and a lot of cannabis. Hints of malt on the ends. Literally smells like every brewery I’ve walked into. The palate is medium bodied and lightly carbonated with a slightly prickly mouthfeel. Moderately intense flavors of banana and guava with a light bitterness. Followed by a huge corn malt aftertaste on the back end.
