Holy sweet baby Jesus. I've had Julius, Heady Topper and IPAs from Trillium. I've had countless traditional, brett, whatever you name it IPAs from the west, and I just had an IPA from northern Virginia that made me drink the Kool Aid so hard, I was buying shirts, decals and whatever else I could my sweaty hands on.

Aslin in Herndon, Virginia makes IPAs that warm my cockles in a way that they've never been warmed before. A Google search of "Aslin site:homebrewtalk.com" comes up empty. Has anyone had their beer and been thinking about clones and recipes? If you're within an hour of the area, I can't recommend a trip enough. They're starting to get into a high demand period, however, and I would make sure they have something on tap if you decide to.
Specifically, I had an IPA called Cortes and His Men. It was made with El Dorado and Mandarina Bavaria. It tasted like tropical pineapple pop rocks.
