For this iteration of the classic easy drinking IPA, we substituted a portion of the Citra and Galaxy hops for a healthy dash of Sabro. Blue Starfish has a distinct citrus zest and coconut flavor in addition to the typical orange, pineapple, & grapefruit notes present. Juicy, smooth & guaranteed to win you over.

On tap at the brewery. Belcher is a starchy sunset orange with a ring of white head. Nose has some pith, a lot of citrus, orange and grapefruit, some pineapple brulee, a little melon. Malt backbone is there and I dig, it balances the sweet melon and peach sherbet. The bitterness from the citrus helps top. Finishes fuller bodied than I imagined it would with a little bite. Grew on me. 7 2 7 3 13

Can. Pours a cloudy yellow with a slight gold hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice mango with some papaya, tangerine and sweet grains supporting. Flavor has mango and dank tropical fruits with a growing tangerine and a light creamy sweet grain backbone.

Cloudy bright orange body with sediment, thick puffy cream head. Aroma a blend of tropical fruits, including papaya and guava; also bready-estery. Doughy-creamy body with tangerine, tropical fruits, and floral elements; a touch of pine in the finish. Soft, sweet, and a tad tart.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam. Big sabro focused nose with coconut, lime zest and light tropical fruit notes. Smooth and juicy texture. Same flavors linger on the palate. Medium to low perceived bitterness.

Best new Aslin I've had in a while. Reminds me of why I loved this brewery in the beginning. Rich tangerine and pine. Some pineapple, unripe mango. Light tangy finish. Can from the Brew Shop advent.

From a pint can. Pours a murky straw with an off white head. Aromas of tropical fruits. Flavors are moderately bitter citrus. Smooth and tasty.
