#VABeerMonth
This canning is a collaborative effort between Aslin Beer Company and Graft Cidery. Brewed with milk sugar, dry hopped with citra and mosiac, and conditioned on vanilla, strawberries and raspberries. Drank out of a one pint can (16 oz) and 8.5% Alc/Vol. they just released a different variation of this canning as well.
Very unique color, an orangey pink like the pulp of a grapefruit. A light foam head as well. Pleasant nose of grapefruits, strawberry creme, almost like a popsicle and some raw hops too. A bit tart with low hoppiness on the palate. Medium bodied with raspberries, a touch of lactose and a some spices. Medium plus length finish.

Solid IPA that is hopped with Citra, Wamiea and Vic Secret. Drank out of a one pint can (16 oz) and 6.2% Alc/Vol.
Cloudy golden yellow with a moderate white head. A bit of hoppiness on the nose with some pines, citrus rind, floral and a touch herbal. Medium bodied with only a touch of bitterness. Nice amount of mandarine, a little perfumey herbs and some tropical notes behind the hoppiness. Medium plus to long finish and well rounded.

Aslin Beer Company/Horus Aged Ales
Buku Mocha Imperial Stout
#VABeerMonth
@Delectable Wine this is a collaboration between Aslin Beer Company in Herndon, Virginia and Horus Aged Ales from Oceanside, California called the ‘Buku Mocha Imperial Stout’.
Beautiful Imperial Stout from Aslin Beer Company and Horus Aged Ales. As it says on the can this is conditioned with Vietnamese Coffe and Vietnamese Cocoa Nibs. This baby will also sneak up on you, labeled as 13.5% alc/vol but it is actually 18%! Drank out of a one pint can (16 oz).
Pitch blackish brown with a solid light to medium brown head. Powerful nose just like a dark roast French press, followed up by mocha, vanilla and a bit nutty. Full bodied and thick, lush on the palate with layers of dark chocolate, a touch of marshmallows, roasted coffee beans and tons of mocha. Long and thick finish. Generally not a stout fan, especially imperial stouts, but this one is spectacular.

One of the beers our buddy Zack (@MyLifeIsAComicality) traded with us. This canning is a collaboration between Aslin Beer Company in Herndon, VA and Kings Brewing Company in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Made as a sour ale with peach, mango, raspberry, pink guava, vanilla and milk sugar. 5.0% Alc/Vol.
Cloudy and opaque pink almost like a grapefruit with a light head. Stinky to start on the nose with a bit of guava and more tropical fruits. Medium to medium plus bodied with some tart characteristics coming through. Quite refreshing and crisp mouthfeel with some tropical, sour red berries and stone fruit notes. Medium plus finish.
