12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Poured into a standard shaker. Bright hazy yellow that looks like the New England systole IPA. Aroma shows me grapefruit, soft pale grain, kind of a mineral note. Clean smelling.
Flavor has a pale grain backbone, citrus is moderate and does give a nice very mild bitterness. The yeast seems a bit under attenuated. But honestly, nothing is wrong with it. The flavor is still has a freshness and is rather easy to drink. I would not turn this away if offered.

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.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-cloudy golden yellow color with a nice foamy white head. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some crisp airy orange zest - somewhat like rind. Some tropical fruits and then a light grassy sweetness.
The flavor moderately takes that orange zesty/rind-like bitterness to coincide with the sweet part of those hops. Malts play some part here, but for the most part, they’re quite light. Mild subtly sweet hoppy aftertaste with a quick flick of a finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine not distracting from the bitterness units. ABV felt fine.
Overall, very nicely done AIPA that I would have again. I’m glad these guys showed up to the Vermont beer scene. I hope they stay as I think they’ll help keep the other local breweries around here on their toes.

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.

Deep brown color. Sweet caramel malts throughout. A pretty straightforward dunkelweizen that gets the job done without being too memorable.

Lovely brown color. Nutty, sweet malt, chocolate, slightly sour finish. Medium bodied. Straight forward and pretty classic. Nice.
