16oz can pours a hazy yellow with some ringing white head. Nose has some fusel notes, apricots, peaches, mango. Flavor is boozy and fusel, canned peaches, apricots, melon. Finishes a little starchy and a little boozy. Pricks the tongue.

Fairly hazy deep amber and bronze coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall rich tan and light brown head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of syrup, honey, resin, pineapple, melons, deep rich malts and some light floral notes, but the alcohol and sweetness here are very evident, at least in the nose. Full-bodied; Rich, resinous, syrupy and sticky sweet real Imperial IPA that doesn't show much bitterness, but does show a ton of sweetness - both from fruits, but more from syrup, resin and plain caster sugar. Aftertaste is rich, with the malts still around, showing a ton of character, with a slight graininess noticeable and some light notes, but the hops are still stronger here of course, but in a very new school way, without a lot of bitterness, more fruity and resinous notes instead of the alpha acid blast. Overall, pretty nice, but perhaps too sticky, sweet and not bitter enough for the style - this is much more of an American Strong than an Imperial IPA to me, but pretty decent, local and fresh...not my favourite from Aslin, but not the worst either. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 19-March-2021 for US$5,00 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-April-2021.
