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.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is grassy, fresh hops, orange, some other exotic fruits. Taste is the same, good hop bite, not the other dank stuff, just flowery grassy hop goodness. Oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation, mild hopburn in the back, but just the right amount.
