ONE PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass
Edited 08/10/2022
Original review was an oxidized can (Edited review is in parentheses)
Son of a bitch, it sure looks oxidized. It pours a brown mustard color and is murky. It it topped with an inch of beige head that leaves spotty lacing. (Bright yellow color and turbid. It is topped with a couple inches of beige head that leaves nice lacing.)
I get some citrus aroma along with melon. (Tropical fruit, melon, citrus, and pine aroma. It's all there.)
I get citrus. It is sweet. It's a bit off. (Tropical fruit upfront. Melon in the middle. Citrus follows. Pine in the finish.)
Medium bodied with an effervescent mouthfeel (Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel)
Even though this beer is oxidized, it is still better than a lot of the hazy turds out there. This beer just happens to be the color of turd water. (It is nice to try this beer as intended. Fruity to start. Bitter in the end. Nice beer)

Pours a cloud orange color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is citrus. Tastes of grapefruit and orange. Very creamy. Good mouth feel.

Pours a cloudy, dark orange with three-plus fingers of yellowed head. Lasts a good while and leaves sudsy lacing.
Huge white peach in the nose, with some some strong grapefruit, as well as a little orange, passionfruit and pepper.
More of a candied orange and floral passionfruit impression in the taste, with a bit of an herbal component behind it. Relatively spicy, too, with some pithy bitterness to the finish.
Full bodied and lightly creamy with low-to-moderate prickliness to the carbonation.
Good stuff. Incredible aroma with that “hard candy” impression in the taste I’m finding in a lot of midwestern NEIPAs these days.

Another fantastic NEIPA from Arvon, really making a name in the hazy IPA game in Michigan. Beautiful hazy dark peachy orange, smells beautifully tropical, light berry flavors even, vanilla, pastry,creamy, so smooth, nice lingering subtle bitterness. Great beer.
