One of our fav IPAs solely dry-hopped with Citra & Mosaic, & we're getting deliciously dank aromas from this one. Nuances has a smooth mouthfeel with flavors of citrusy clementine & sweet bramble berry followed with notes of pine.

On tap at Chinaski Lavapies, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out dank hops, pithy stone fruits and some chalk. Flavour is harsh, with plenty of hopburn, dankness and pithy stone fruits. Hits a lot of notes I can't stand in hazies — chalky, lots of hopburn — this is becoming the norm. Not good.

Cloudy, bright orange body, thick cream head. Nose a burst of tropical fruit, including passionfruit, orange, papaya, pineapple, and guava. Soft, creamy body, big on passionfruit, in addition to pineapple, lychee, flower nectar, and a modest sour orange bite. Also some light oniony, vegetal bitterness. Very nice.

Super hazy golden coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall pure white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of citrus fruit, some good malts, a nice yeast bite showing bread and a dash of lactobilly notes and a dry, grapefruity scent from the fresh hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Very crisp and citrusey hop notes dominate here showing a bunch of fresh tangerine and grapefruit elements, but the light, dry and slightly grassy hop bitterness persists, all with a great balance of malts here - very nicely balanced and showing some sublime sweetness (on the light side) at the very end. Aftertaste shows the good balance nicely, the fresh hops with definite citrus bite, but the sweetness and light malt aspects are great here. Overall, a very nice, lower alcohol IPA from Aslin - I feel like these are their best products, but this one is no different - a great balance, bringing out tons of flavours, especially the hops and the bitterness, but the sweetness and punch that comes through with only 6,0 per cent is quite nice! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 13-March-2021 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-June-2021, for a Father's Day celebration with my family.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy, deep gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lots of pineapple, citrus zest and pith with some berry notes. Bit green on the palate, with lots of green hop flavors, bitter pith and zest notes. Some passionfruit and mango skin bitterness as well.

The aromas are fresh citrus with a little pine resin hops, dry grain and pale malt. Flavors are on the dry side, similar to nose and low bitter. Good carbonation body and finish. Nice beer.
