Citra hops all the way! NEIPA-style, and true to form it looks the part.
The aroma hits as soon as I open the can. Surprisingly, it’s toned down by the time it’s in the glass. Thick and juice, with a grainy finish on its end.

ONE PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours like pineapple juice. It is yellow and turbid. It is topped with an inch of beige head that leaves decent lacing.
Dank and earthy aroma. I get hints of cannabis and melon. there is some tropical fruit.
The taste is similar to the aroma. I get dank and earthy. There is a little resin, melon, and tropical fruit. I get some grapefruit pith in the finish.
Medium bodied and mouthfeel
This is another great IPA from Arvon. Very enjoyable

Can received from @jvgoor3786. First thing I noticed was the head that came out on open, and then the second thing was the large amount of head on the pour. Big, frothy, long lasting creamy foam and lacing on top of a pale gold juice like haze bomb. Definitely an interesting appearance. Smell is citrusy, juicy, slightly dank hops on the front with a mild breadiness underneath. Taste is citrusy orange, a bit of tart grapefruit, sweet hints of vanilla. Feel is medium bodied, mouth watering, carbonated. All in all, a pretty damn tasty beer.

From a can clearly dated May 27, 2019.
Pours an opaque, hazy bright orange with a soapy white head and tons of lacing.
The smell is bright, bitter hops with lots of orange but no hop burn.
The taste is bitter, hoppy orange and a little vanilla. The finish is dry and very quick with no hop bite.
The mouthfeel is fizzy and medium bodied.
There is a nice balance, good flavor, and no hop bite. Really enjoyable.

Appearance - Pours really opaque dark yellow with a huge fluffy white head that lasts quite a while. Sheets of lacing.
Aroma - Overly ripe peach, tangerine, candied orange, light vanilla.
Taste - Really big orange/grapefruit flavor. Very nice balance of sweet and slightly bitter, light vanilla.
Feel - Really thick and creamy slightly dry finish.
Overall - Well done nice flavors, might be one of the thickest mouthfeels I have had.

Pours a cloudy, grayish light orange with a finger of off-white head. Moderate lacing.
Candied orange, dankness, white pepper in the nose.
Very sweet orange, some cream, some vanilla, a little rot, light herbal bitterness and a drying finish that comes from the exceptionally strong fizz in the feel. A little chalky, too.
The flavors in this are really nice, but the carbonation is way too strong right out of the can. Let it sit for an hour and it was much more enjoyable.
