Very hazy, light golden coloured body with a ghostly pale gold and raw honey coloured body with a thin, large-bubbled tan head with an ultra hazy golden glow with around ninety per cent opacity. Aroma of bright citrus fruit, grass, hay, candy and a nice tropical fruit scent that makes this seem nice and complex. Medium-bodied; Fairly malty, nutty and earthy notes come out of nowhere and start with a ton of astringency and pungent flavours with a dry and herbal bite with a touch of citrus fruits with a light hit of candy and grass - deep and slightly bitter from the hops, with a stronger malt on the end than anything else. Aftertaste is robust, full of flavour and more malty, rustic, bready and nutty than citrusey or tropically, but the hop bitterness does come through at the end. Overall, an interesting beer that smells like it's going in one direction, but the taste and malt brings it completely opposite - interesting! Not as good as most other lo-ish ABV IPAs from Aslin, but this was nice to try because if it was so funky, plus having it local and fresh was great! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from MOM's Organic Market in Alexandria, Virginia on 28-February-2021 for US$3,99, sampled at my house in Washington on 10-March-2021.

Pint can from WW. Murky golden-orange with a giant, soft off-white head. Juicy orange, Flintstones vitamins, melon, tropical fruit nose. Flavor is orange and tangerine peel, melon, pineapple, mango, some other tropical fruit I can't place, green leaf, light grape - almost a hint of red wine. Quite tasty.

Tap at mad mex. Looks like cloudy lemonade. Floral perfumy IPA nose. Big bitter rubber green grapefruit feel. Mouth coating big ass IPA. Terribly on style, nasty nellie, what else can be said?
