Ever caught a Baby Shark?? Legend has it a fresh catch of this is incredibly smooth & juicy. A heavy dry-hopped diet of Citra gives the Baby Shark ripe flavors of grapefruit, peaches, & soft mango, & makes it's habitat in a sea of hazy orange clementine.

Murky yellow orange with a large foamy white head that left good lacing. Dryish and citric. Not much depth of flavor or complexity but pleasant enough. Medium finish and body.

Ridiculously hazy, almost ghostly white coloured body with a very thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of fresh-cut grass, citrus fruit, light flowers and some candy - nice and aromatic. Light-bodied; Rich citrus fruit up front that shows oranges and a hint of tangerines, but shortly thereafter shows a lot of restraint, like something is missing. The malt is pretty stale tasting, the complexity and pungency dies down dramatically and there isn't much left to be excited about in the beer. So, you take another sip and you get the same thing - citrus immediately, and almost noting else, period. Aftertaste is clean, dry and showing fake malts, like with spelt or something without glutens. Overall, this one is funky - the beer smells great, looks very funky and tastes very soft and subdued with early citrus, then nothing. I typically like Aslin's low alcohol IPAs, but this one is not good at all, except the nose, but the rest brings it down! This is definitely worth passing over, sadly, the name and can are nice though, especially for your kids. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-February-2021 for US$3,49, sampled at my house in Washington on 13-March-2021.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish straw gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. White grapfruit, lime and lychee aromas on the nose. More of the same on the palate with some pith, lime and pine notes. Very light bodied, almost watery due to the abv. Dry and crisp on the finish with lingering lychee notes.

On tap at the Alexandria location. Pours a hazy light yellow with a slight peach hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has some bitter citrus with a bit of rind and some honeydew underlying. Flavor has a good amount of citrus with a bit of lemon grass and a hint of rind backing.

Month old pint can A: Poured a murky paint-like yellow with a short thick puck of white foam that held well. S: Faint grapefruit and banana. More pronounced pineapple and peach. Wafer cookies underneath. T: Bitter citrus pith and zest, mainly grapefruit but also some lime and pineapple later. Wheat crackers join the pineapple for the finish. M: Fine carbonation, smooth texture just shy of hop burn. Fruity finish. O: Solid all around but probably not a repeater.
