Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head, quickly dissipated to leave mild lace
Aroma: citrusy and tropical hoppiness, subtle pine, clean malts super far down in there
Flavor: bittersweet juicy tropical and citrusy goodness, subtle citrusy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability, piney/citrusy finish
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

12 oz. can, thanks to Timmy! Pours a hazy, orange color, with a small, white head. The nose is orange juice, cardamom, lovely phenols, lime crema, and light leather. Sweet and juicy, with a mellow acidity. Light to medium body, slick, and a little hot. Pretty reasonable, juicy and sugary.

A hazed milky yellow ipa with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, light cereals. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, light cereals, light herbal character, pleasant.

Pretty good, with a decent amount of citrus pith and tropical fruit notes and a moderately dry finish. Pine and a touch of minerals on the fade.

Hazy light orange pour, a finger of foam, good lacing.
Smell is bitter orange zest and is hoppy with a small hint of tropical fruit.
Taste is quite bitter from orange zest, some grapefruit, tropical fruit is mild. I get a wee bit of toasted malt.
Medium bodied, lively carbonation.
It's an okay Hazy.
Mine says 6.5% abv.

Keg at Farmers Boy, St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit taste/aroma. Pleasant enough IPA.

Super hazy, light straw golden coloured body shows nicely with a pretty supple two centimetre tall off-white head that's microfoamed and stays afloat nicely above the 90 per cent opaque body. Aroma of bright mangoes, oranges, tangerines, flowers, papaya and guava with some additional sugars noticeable and a kick of funky yeast at the end of the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp mango and orange flavours show at first with a lot of funky and bitter aspartame notes with a straw and grassy flavour that has some odd lactose and wheatie malt notes that aren't so pleasant. Aftertaste shows the dry notes first and foremost with some lighter floral notes and a kick of citrus flavours, but lactose, yeast and some off-flavoured funkiness dominates near the end and draws away from the nicer flavours up front. Overall, a decent and about 'good' IPA on the lighter-side, but the dry, lactosey and aspartamey, funky yeast notes on the end make this one not as good as other Lighter/Lower ABV beers by Aslin that I usually like so much. I'm glad to have this once, but I won't buy this one again! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's [grocery] in Alexandria (Stovall Place), Virginia on 17-September-2022 for US$2,33 (as part of a mixed six pack), sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-October-2022.
