12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Poured into a standard shaker. Cloudy bright yellowish color. Aroma is unripe fruits, mild lasting citrus, light white bread hints. Maybe an herbal note.
Flavor is mostly a reflection of the aromas. Rye malt is barely noticed but it does have a light herbal bitterness. Subtle spice. Body is lighter and crisp. Very easy drinking and flavorful for 5.3%. I actually could drink several cans of this. Nice.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt copper to orange color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head. Messy sticky lace.
The aroma blends some orange pulp, marmalade and fresh mint leaves. Nice clean sweeping malt in the backbone.
The flavor freshly moves the mint sweetly with just enough spice to meld with the orange pulp and marmalade. Super nice sliding minty to malty aftertaste rolling into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Nice carbonation. ABV felt right.
Overall, first one by Aslan and certainly doesn’t disappoint. Not sure why everyone else doesn’t like this, is it the \"mint?\" Anyhow, well, I loved this.

Can, either undated or forgot to write down the date, drunk 8/19/16.
Large, foamy white head shows moderately-strong retention, atop a flaxen-hay-golden body that shows a good deal of haziness.
Light graham cracker-like malts mix with strong citrus (lemon, orange) and light honey, with a very clean and soft character all around. The citrus adds poignancy and bitterness, but doesn’t overwhelm, while light nectarine-pineapple juiciness helps add complexity to the aroma.
Soft, malty but still well-attenuated in the body, it has a honey-biscuit character with chewy, lightly fruity rye and tons of nectarine, pineapple, lemon and orange. Bitterness is appropriate to balance but adds no resin. Clean, polished maltiness is quite sumptuous and the fruitiness on top balances nicely. Really nice stuff and a shame I didn’t try more Aslan. Next time.

Can. Pours a hazy with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a decent amount of citrus with a hint of flora and a light sweet grain backbone. Flavor is mainly sweet citrus and sweet grains with a hint of flora.

Sample at Hoof Hearted during the "Koffüry Imperial Coffee Stout Release" on 05/01/2016. Clear golden color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of fruit, grassy hops and malt. Light body with flavors of mild hops, bready malt and a bit of fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a short grassy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 oz can poured. Canned 1/13/2016. I actually acquired this just a few days after the can date, but then forgot. Bummer. Bright orange pour with a full snow globe of sediment. Foam lasting head. Soft grassy aroma. Flavor is hops with a kick. Citrus, and almost wheat like background. High carb, cool finish. Good beer.

On tap at Aslan, pours a hay golden with a small white head. Nose brings out loads of mango and pineapple notes upfront, a little spicy hops from the rye. Flavour is fruity and spicy, with more moderate tropical fruits than on the nose, followed by light spiciness and citrus hops. Very good stuff.
